Patton appears to be clueless as to the state of Soviet forces not that he should know that much about it in any case after all he was occupied with other issues.

Soviet air forces had driven the Nazis from the skies and had COMPLETE air superiority over Eastern Europe. From 1940 to 1945 the USSR had built almost 160,000 aircraft, it had built equally impressive numbers of tanks which were superior to the US tanks.

Only a fool would believe that the US army could do what the Nazis couldn't even with more troops. There were 3.9 million Nazi troops against against 5.5 million Soviets and that was not enough to hold back the tide. The US had far less troops in Europe than even the Nazis.

I don't see you quoting how many total airplanes the U.S. built...LOL

And I told you how we were able to defeat the superior German tanks. No a lack of will is what we suffered. You think Patton didn't know better than YOU what the Soviets had at that time? Are you a retired General? LOL
