What’s the point of this?We won WW2 because Germany and Japan never had a chance in the first place. Neither one even had a 4 engine bomber. Germany's vaunted tanks (Panther and Tiger) were more propaganda that weapons of war -- They were lucky to have 10% of them in the field at any one time. IF they even made it to a Battlefield. They were known to break down right out of the factory door. The Tiger often caught fire leaving the factory. They had no Navy, their Air Force was wiped out of existence by 1943.
All the Germans had was a very good Wehrmacht that was being chewed to pieces by the American Military. The Russians? They were just throwing bodies at the Germans. But it worked. The Russians have always fought 'Casualties Wars'.
People don't realize, but we gave the Russians 475,000 Medium and Heavy Trucks. While the Wehrmacht was using horses to move its artillery and pull its supplies through the mud and snow, the Russians were using Tens of Thousands of American made trucks to run circles around them. The Germans weren't mechanized AT ALL.
And we were only in the European Theater for just over 6 Months. D-Day was in June of 1944 and the War was essentially over in Europe by the Battle of the Bulge. A stupid tactic by an idiot.
The Japanese? They had no business messing with us. That War was essentially over at Midway. 6 Months after Pearl Harbor and the Japanese were on the run until we finally got tired of their bullshit and Nuked them.
Do you believe the USA has the non nuclear weapons arsenal to effect anything today?
