Why do some Americans believe they single handedly won WW2?

A real historian understands the paranoia against the Japanese after Pearl Harbor and that the US Supreme Court agreed with internment. Also that conservatives overwhelmingly supported it

The Supreme Court is responsible for interpreting the Constitution

Concentration camps are, by definition, direct violations of the Constitution. Just think, from 1930 to 1970 there were only four leaders who threw people in concentration camps.

Hitler

Stalin

Mao

And FDR.

That's some pretty shitty company he's with there.

One governor
The rest of the country said

Lock em up

Their right to challenge went to the Supreme Court

It was acceptable treatment to the court

So was "separate but equal" and Dred Scott.

Same thing happened with Italians here in the UK, they were interned in camps and some deported to Canada, some died on a ship on it's way to Canada sunk by a U -Boat,also some German immigrants were targeted, one a famous Butcher in my Town who had lived here for generations his shop was targeted by Morons, that shop was still there when i was growing up making the best pies in Town. in times of war some people lose the plot including Governments, i believe some Japs in the US actually fought on the side of the US.

The Fascist Franco had hundreds of concentration camps in Spain, Pinochet had them in Chile, even Santiago football Stadium was used as a Concentration camp by Pinochet.

The only reason why Russia was able to win stalingrad is because of all the war materials we gave them. Thousands of aircraft, thousands of tanks, hundreds of thousands of trucks, millions of tons of food and ammunition.

US help was significant and useful, but was a little part of Russian production. It was worth about $200Bn in current prices. And you gave about $350Bn worth help to Ukraine this time without any practical result. It is not just about how much money or materials you invest. The issue is how to use it.

200 billion back then, bought a lot more than it does today.

After the West refused to have a anti Nazi pact with the soviets, otherwise millions of German troops would have been on the Russian border before they were, also the Poles stole part of Czechoslovakia months before after they had a green light from Hitler.

Excuses excuses, the fact is the SU and the fascists had been working together for YEARS, allowing Germany to avoid the controls set forth by the Versailles treaty.

This is common knowledge, or do they not teach you that in your Marxist schools?

 

[pal]

Germans do. Germans tend to overthink.

British army would easy whisk Nazis.

It was about $10Bn back in WW2. $200Bn is in the current prices.

The 442nd Infantry Regiment was an infantry regiment of the United States Army. The regiment including the 100th Infantry Battalion is best known as the most decorated unit in U.S. military history, and as a fighting unit composed almost entirely of second-generation American soldiers of Japanese ancestry (Nisei) who fought in World War II. Beginning in 1944, the regiment fought primarily in the European Theatre, in particular Italy, southern France, and Germany. The 442nd Regimental Combat Team (RCT) was organized on March 23, 1943, in response to the War Department's call for volunteers to form the segregated Japanese American army combat unit. More than 12,000 Nisei (second-generation Japanese American) volunteered. Ultimately 2,686 from Hawaii and 1,500 from mainland U.S. internment camps assembled at Camp Shelby, Mississippi in April 1943 for a year of infantry training. Many of the soldiers from the continental U.S. had families in internment camps while they fought abroad. Meaning to risk everything in order to achieve victory, the unit's motto was "Go For Broke". Before they left Mississippi, the 442nd was given permission to use the slogan it wanted, "Go For Broke," the shooters' cry to "shoot the works."

Created as the 442nd Regimental Combat Team when it was activated 1 February 1943, the unit quickly grew to its fighting complement of about 4,000 men by April 1943, and an eventual total of about 10,000 men served in the combined 100th Infantry Battalion and 442nd RCT. The combined units earned, in less than two years, more than 4,000 Purple Hearts and 4,000 Bronze Star Medals. The unit was awarded seven Presidential Unit Citations (seven between 1944 and 1946, Twenty-one of its members were awarded the Medal of Honor. In 2010, Congress approved the granting of the Congressional Gold Medal to the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and associated units who served during World War II, and in 2012, all surviving members were made chevaliers of the French Légion d'Honneur for their actions contributing to the liberation of France and their heroic rescue of the Lost Battalion.

Why are Brits such fags now if they were so badass back then? Hmm?
Our societies are not the same. Yours came from Feudal Lords and Monarchies and ours came from people that went out to the ass end of nowhere and built a thriving civilization with just tools, vision, and drive. We are not the same.
We told Brits to **** off over 200 years ago. And made them.
UK was responsible for the firebombing of Dresden, as I recall. Something tells me your Commie indoctrination in the UK schools left out a lot of the history we were taught. The schools have been commiefied in the UK since the late 1970s
grinding out compliant mushheads, of which you probably are one. I can't fix 12 years of indoctrination, sorry.
Brits did some fighting in N.Africa, too.

Hi Duke. The way I see it is as follows: Imagine if you will two bulls fighting...one is a bit stronger than the other and is winning.

Then a D12 Caterpillar shows up; War OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, Soviet Union wasn't a winner in WWI and it wasn't its duty to control anybody. Soviet Union barely controlled its own territory. The main countries that allowed Germany to remilitarise itself were the USA, England and France.
Say nothing that since 1933 up to 1939 Soviet Union paused military and technical cooperation with Germany, exactly because there were extra-right at power. Not that other regimes in Europe were somehow better.

Yes, I understand that. My point stands.

The SU entered into a technology sharing agreement with the Germans even before Hitler came to power.

Tukachevsky and his tank officers learned a hell of a lot from Guderian and his boys.

The German rearmament would have been irrelevant were it not for those years of hidden armor development.

Nonsense. The Soviet Union and Nazi Germany worked together extensively for several years-they agreed to carve up Poland, and the Soviets supplied grain, phosphates, and oil in return for military technology.
