Nazi Germany was spending one third of its war funds on killing Jews. That's pretty significant. Hitler insisted that killing Jews was the top priority. Also, if they hadnt started Murdering civilians right away, the Russians wouldn't have been as willing to fight. Many Russians thought the Germans were rescuing them from Stalin.

Good point. If Germany had fought to liberate Russia instead of conquering them, they might have won.
Russians died by the millions for Mother Russia, I don't think they would have done the same for Stalin

attack against the USA mainland - don't think so
lol
The Soviets took the brunt of military deaths, no question.attack against the USA mainland - don't think so
lol
No country has been strong enough to invade the US mainland in 200 years. Germany could not have even invaded England
The US could have feasibly invaded Europe by ourselves and defeated the Nazis but it would have taken over a million casualties and our people never would have stood for it
I hate to even suggest it, but I often wonder if that Germany army was not the best army the world has ever known? We'll never really know, however, still....
The current US army is the answer to that trivia question.
But....you have a great thread a-bornin' there, Reggie....
Once one specifies the time, strategy, national character, weapons....

Were I to pick the best US Army I would go with the Confederate army of the Civil War.

Because it was a "just" war.
Germany attacked the Soviet Union.
Bad as the SU was - Nazi Germany was worse.
Most puntis predicted Russia would fall within months.
Germany violated theRippontrop-Molotov peace treaty -so there fore Rusia had the high moral ground.
Um no that wasn't the reason! If that was the reason then anytime a country invaded anothter country the victory would be the invaded. Tell that to Georgia! Tell that to all the countries the Arab Caliphates invaded, the Middle East used to be a collection of different peoples, Egypt and North Africa used to be made of Black skinned Africans. The Arab Caliphates of the 7th-10th centuries unjustly invaded the entire Middle East and North Africa displacing all the inhabitants and transposing them with Arabs. Almost happened to Europe, if the Franks didn't kick their Arab behinds in. The Arab Egyptian is different than the Egyptian of King Tuts time.
The USSR won because Germany had to take on Britian, US and USSR on a 2-3 front war. Not to mention the USSR had a nice military infrastructure, many factories to produce weapons of war, a vast countryside, large population and ruthless commanders.
The USSR didn't defeat Nazi Germany on their own. No even close. If it was Nazi Germany vs the USSR in a one on one match, the USSR would have been defeated. The only country at the time that could have defeated Nazi Germany one on one was America!
The Soviets had already turned the tide on the Nazis by the time we entered the war. They killed 20 times the number of Germans that we did.
The Soviets could have beaten the Germans without us, we could not have defeated the Germans without the Soviets tying up Germanies best troops and equipment. We never would have tolerated the casualties necessary to defeat the Germans by ourselves

Interesting POV but I believe the USA could of & would have been able to destroy Germany w/out the USSR &/or the British........
The immense industrial base simply could not be matched by Germany, especially after the bombings began.....

If we really were set on it, I think we could have ultimately defeated them. But at great cost
If Germany did not have to worry about it's Eastern Front they would have had three times the number of Divisions in the west. D Day would have been a massacre and we would have had to fight for every piece of ground.
The US would have had to lose a million troops to defeat the Germans without the Russians. I don't think the American people would have stood for it
