Yes, yes, Operation Bagration, the circling of the Army Group Centre and the brilliant tactical moves from Zhukov are all "The winter". Sure

Winter helped a lot breaking the German war machine, but it's still not the T-Rex nor any other dinosaurs on this picture.

And yet still Napoleon was faster in Moscow than the germans. And strangly half of his army was dead when they arrived there before winter.

Really? I watched 3 documentaries that said D-Day was "The Single Most Important Day in Human History." You tell me it's just CoD...
MidlandRedux
You can make a case for it. If D-day failed, either Hitler or Stalin destroys European civilization. That is pretty bleak.
Cereaza
Well, Stalin sure. Hitler would've lost either way, but the war was always US vs USSR. The bombs were to show off to Stalin. Not Hirohito.
MidlandRedux
Per the Japanese, the bombs impressed a number of them. They said the bombs and the Soviets between them made them give up. I believe them.
Cereaza
I'm sure the bombs had more of an impact than a fruit fly. But they weren't essential to win the war. We didn't need to nuke them to win.
Cereaza
Oh, and Also Truman was kind of a racist and an asshole. But history has a way of white washing our sins.

We did nuke them to show the Soviets that we meant business, and they weren't going to just take whatever they wanted in negotiations.

America donated literally thousands of trucks and jeeps to the Soviets, giving them a decisive advantage in mechanization over the Nazis.

The image of the Nazi military as being ultra-advanced and mechanized is largely a facade they themselves maintained. It was really a... 1/?
GNiko
The only two countries with fully motorized artillery at the start of the war were UK and USSR. Even USA had horse-drawn artillery in 1941.
jickmagger101
Small core of advanced tanks that were a logistical nightmare to maintain, along with some armored cars and alot of horse-drawn carriages.

Actually the most important stuff US gave USSR was train engines and some vital chemicals.

Way to ignore the entire Pacific theater
mahtax
The US spent 75% of its war effort on Germany, 25% on the Pacific. With only 25%, the US beat Japan by themselves. They weren't important.
MancrushonThor
I'm sure you have a source for that
mahtax
I do! Thanks for checking. :)
randyMagnum357
Yup, probably just as violent as the eastern front. Those japs wouldn't give up.
MedrengardMax
It was close, but the level of brutality was not on par. Leningrad alone was a kind of massacre completely unseen in the Pacific.
ActualAnimal
Does Manchuria and the Rape of Nanking count as the pacific?
MedrengardMax
Nope, that was the Chinese theater. The Pacific theater was a war on the ocean, whereas the Chinese theater was a land war.
Elroydb
It was war. Brutality was the same. Just the scale of land fighting was far less in the Pacific
MedrengardMax
There is a very stark difference between island hopping and open siege warfare, the comparison simply doesn't hold up.
BigTom
Ever hear of the Rape of Nanking? Or any of the Sino-Japanese War? The japs were just as brutal as the Nazi's.

Trading mostly with HUGE interest that wasn't paid off until the 80's. Not that it wasn't a huge boon, but it came at an outrageous cost.
Mcknizzle
It cost an incredible amount to keep the U.K. operating as well as operating our own force. It cost a lot to fund the Russians too while we
Mcknizzle
also spent an incredible amount defeating the Japanese in the pacific. Your society was about to come to an end. You're welcome.
Keydan
And USSR paid for all those resources with gold and money for many many year. It wasn't a freebie. Well, some of it was, but not for USSR.
Mcknizzle
Nor should it have been. We kept the USSR functioning during wartime. We gave them the ability to fight. It wasn't cheap.
Keydan
It was a great boon. But not the lifeline you make it sound to be.
Slamtastik
We gave the Russians food and trucks, we gave them tanks and planes too but they used them as target practice because they were shit.

The Shermans were alright, but by that point the USSR was producing far more of its own tanks. Lees were death-traps, M3s weren't fantastic.

The Soviets depended far more on equipment like boots than it did on LL tanks.

I agree that the US funding did help Britain, but it was given as a loan (which made the US lots of money), rather than just support.
MidlandRedux
The "loan" bit was a cover story. Little of it was ever paid back. Isolationists at the time denounced it as a scam. They knew.
Mcknizzle
It got Britain what it needed while it needed it. It was done on a promise of repaying and that was it. UK fulfilled its obligation and we
Mcknizzle
trusted them to do so. As for support with no expectation of repayment, which is a stupid expectation, how about US airmen traveling to the
Mcknizzle
UK to take part in the Battle of Britain. We saved the U.K. What's wrong with repaying the costs incurred to keep the country functioning?
Mcknizzle
collapsed and the soviet advance would never have happened as the bombing of Germany would have never occurred and the full might of Germany
Mcknizzle
would have been directed on the eastern front along with the resources they were harvesting from n. Africa (oil). Japan would not have
Mcknizzle
fallen as their navy would have been fully prepped for war instead of being annihilated. We didn't win it alone but without us, Germany
Mcknizzle
would have won the war in Europe and at LEAST held the soviets off. Deal with it.

The soviets invaded Poland with Germany. Forgot about that? Or are you blowing things out of proportion?
Khaotix11
Did you intend to reply to my comment with that? Or the post? If the former, then I am perplexed. You are correct, though.
Mcknizzle
Your comment. I didn't downvote you either. Considering we supplied the U.K. with oil and food, without which the U.K. would have become
Mcknizzle
combat ineffective and would have collapsed, long before we officially joined, I wouldn't say we assisted Germany in any real way.
Khaotix11
Don't worry, I didn't downvote. I just didn't quite understand if that was a rebuttal or not, and if it was what was it rebutting.
yahya021
But the US also sold weapons to Germany, or did you forget about that?
ARandomHelljumper
It's often best to forget about lies. What I find more perplexing is the worship of Russia who raped and murdered thousands of Poles.
ChrisNorris
That is a misleading half-truth. Please read up on the topic. Plus, at the time, we didn't have any weapons worth selling.
Mcknizzle
Oh please. Normal economic trading does NOT equal supplying the German war machine en-mass.
TomNguyen
They didnt back anyone. They didnt enter the war so they can sell weapons and resources to both sides
Mcknizzle
What?
TomNguyen
The USA didnt enter a war before 1941, before that they didnt want to intervene because they was selling resources to both sides of war
TomNguyen
Even though Allied has requested US for the military intervene and it could resolve a war quickly.
Rulweylan
The USA charged the UK for the help. We only finished paying off the debt a decade or so ago. You get no points for mercenary work.
Mcknizzle
...wow. Your nation was done. Your society was coming to an end. We step in and SAVE your asses before we had even joined the war and you
Mcknizzle
somehow manage to turn that into a negative thing for the U.S.? Up yours. Paying us back was the least you could do. Jesus...
Cjamhampton
No, the UK borrowed money and equipment from her colonies and the US. They never hired the US to fight in the war as "mercenaries."
Cjamhampton
The US supplied the UK with a lot of money and materials. The US lent a lot to the UK in the lend-lease program and didn't require payback.
Cjamhampton
The US did get bonuses like bases from the UK but the only requirement in the lend lease program was that the materials be returned after.
Cjamhampton
The Anglo-American loan you are talking about was a loan of money and materials, not mercenary work.
ExC12
What, do you expect a country of isolationists to simply give you stuff for free in a war we had nothing to do with?
Mcknizzle
Apparently. This guy's a dick who would try to find the downside of a sunrise.

A lie. The only bit that got paid back was the bit after the war was over. And that was ten cents n the dollar.
EtherealRune
This needs more points
Mcknizzle
Why?
EtherealRune
Because it's accurate
Mcknizzle
We get repaid for keeping a nation afloat during wartime, saving their society, and that makes us mercenaries? Up yours.

The US only shortened the war, Russia already had it won. Even the Japs only surrendered because Russia was 3 weeks away from invading.

DoubleOhKevin
Without the US pouring in supplies, bombing Germany, and generally keeping Hitler distracted, the USSR never would have pulled it off.
DoubleOhKevin
And without the USSR pouring in millions of troops and battering the eastern front the Allied invasion of Normandy would have failed.

Not really, The supplies we gave USSR Yes, But the USSR was already cleaning up the eastern front by the time the US got there.

The US had about 405,000 casualties, Soviet Union 27 MILLION. So yeah we need a bunch more hammer and sickle dinos. Great post

The Japanese killed six in Oregon with a crazy lamp/balloon/bomb thing
Thekingofbeans
To be fair, the soviets had that many casualties because their military was lead by Zapp Brannigan.
Cheomesh
*Zab Branniganski
Durango
It was not. At least, not all the war. Stalin early purge deprived the soviet from many competent general (indeed) but others came after
Durango
Zhukov, for instance, was really fucking good at his job, definitely not Brannigan. Underestimating Soviets was also a mistake Hitler made.
Thekingofbeans
Yeah, but the bulk of the losses came from before Zhukov took over, so my point still stands.
155DangerClose
your point is irrelevant, The losses came from a crippled military without many officers, thanks to the purges.
ChrisNorris
You see, killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men...
SamuthNBS
It's always worth remembering that the UK was vastly larger than the US at the time. The UK was a superpower around the globe.
SamuthNBS
The US helped in Europe but forgets that the Empire was fighting with them in the Pacific and alone in China against the main Japanese force
MidlandRedux
That is in all the history books. It was not forgotten.
SamuthNBS
Who reads books when there are films, games and dinosaur memes? :D
MidlandRedux
Sigh. Very true.
SamuthNBS
The British are seen as a sideline in films and games and only in France. We had land on every continent, fought against every enemy
SamuthNBS
And at one point most of the allies as well. Now the UK would rely on US military might but back then the UK WAS the military might.
RacingToRedLights
Absolutely, US deserves plenty of credit but they were the closer. Brittain, Russia, France pitched first 8 innings USA came in and closed.
MedrengardMax
That's a pretty good analogy, actually. I don't suppose Canada, ANZAC, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands and company were manning the bases?

You are comparing a country that was defending itself vs a country that was never at risk of invasion but sent people to die to help allies?
