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
Good points, but remember they declared war on us......
It would have come @ a great loss perhaps, but I would not think it would play out exactly the same either....... North Africa & Italy etc would have played a different role...
The wrench here would be the role/support, if any, from the USSR.......
Keep in mind the USSR and Germany had an alliance until 1940. If they maintained the alliance and the soviets supported them with troops and fuel we never would have recaptured Europe
