"Well, we all know that America confronted the Germans after my ancestors were distracted for years by the Russians, Brits and French. But I understand,"

Nope.
America gave Germany an ass-whupping when Germany and its supposedly "master racy" of Aryans was at its arrogant best.
General Gorge Paton run rings around your "mighty" German army and made you guys look like rank amateurs!
Germany got it's butt kicked but good.
No excuses. :)

America was not the decisive factor in the war against Germany in WW2 - unlike WW1. Stalingrad - and no other event - broke the Wehrmacht. And don´t underestimate the fights that were bought from 1939-1944... even in the last months the German army was quite "successful" in killing the enemy (I could remind you of the battle of Hürtgenwald: 55,000 dead GI´s compared to 15,000 Germans). But we shouldn´t go into details, my point is, that the performance of the individual matters, and nothing else.
