And thus the reason the Libertarians can never have my vote.. a foreign policy based on wishful thinking and cotton headed dreams
As far as USSR winning on its own... with out the aid of the allies in fuel food and arms moscow would in all likelihood fallen and Stalin removed.. would the soviet replacement fought on or made a deal... the world wonders...
True. What most people don't realize is that the German forces were literlly split between two fronts not only after D-Day, but through the whole war. From 1941 on there were almost always equal forces on the Eastern Front under Oberkommano Heer (Army Central Command), and tied down in the West under Oberkommando Waffen (Armed Forces Central Command). Had Hitler not had to worry about the USA and Britton he would have had twice as many forces to throw at Russia. Not to mention the huge effect of the allied Strategic bombing campaign. ALbert Speer did a brilliant job keeping German war production up, but a huge cost of resources, plus it tied down thouands of fighter aircraft and anti-aircraft crews that could have been used on the Russian front.
