Yep, the US and Britain fought in all of those places, and as I said, the US did win the Pacific war by itself (with minor help from the Dutch, Aussies and Brits). However your indignation does NOT change the FACTS that were listed in the three tables in my previous post about the Nazi/Soviet conflict on the Eastern Front. Most of the German casualties were suffered on the Easter Front, despite the surrender of German forces in North Africa, the decimation of the German 7th Army in the Falaise Gap, etc.

Now which of the tables I referenced are WRONG? Then, how are they an "unfortunate mistake" on my part? As bad as the "commies" were, they helped hold the line against the German Army from June to December 1941, just as Great Britain alone did from May 1940 June of 1941. Then in December 1941 with the entrance of the US, the "Allies" took on Germany (and the US took on Japan) until victory. Churchill once said that he would put in a good word for the Devil himself if he helped Britain against Nazi Germany...

My post concerned use of tables vs. non-use of other tables I stated. I sought balance.

I thought you were making the classic argument spoken of by communists, or neo-fascists concerning WWII. I apologize if that was not your intention.
