The Pacific campaign was run on a shoestring from a manpower perspective. The priority was Europe. Even there we cut it close. At the height of the Battle of the Bulge we had no more reserves in theater to throw into the battle.

And both those campaigns, in terms of manpower, were nothing compared to the Russian Front. It’s almost impossible to grasp the number of people, the amount of materiel, that went into this war.
