And needing other men to come from afar to save the situation, well, all I can say is I, my father, my grandfathers, nor their grandfathers ever chose such a course of action.

US troops did not save Europe from Hitler. When US army was marching toward Germany, Germans were already losing war because of defeat on the eastern front.

What US troops accomplished was saving Western Europe from Communism. Soviet Army would take whole Germany, then would be joined by French, Spanish and Italians Communists (who were very strong at that time).

Yes, I'm familiar with this idea, but it is not true. Without US global power, the Reich would have regrouped and destroyed Russia.

There were 29 Nazi (and I stress Waffen SS) divisions in Western Europe which, if directed to the East, would have obliterated the Russian units. Plus the fact the US support allow the 1000 bomber raids against Germany industry. So this is a myth that Europeans like to believe in, that great Russia was saving them from Hitler's Reich.

In fact, without US ground support (and of course, stopping Japan from Eastern attack) and of course again, bombing German factories, there is no mathematical way backwards Russia could have defeated the evil Third Reich. Anything else is a nationalistic lie.
