@YukikoAmagi thats debatable. So many American lives were lost fighting the Germans

@YukikoAmagi Germany fell to both the Soviets and Western allies. Britain defeated Germany because of support and involvement from the U.S.

If Hitler hadn't been reluctant to fight Britain at first, Britain would have lost. Similarly, if the U.S hadn't joined the war, Britain would have lost.

People should be reminded that Stalin initially approved of Hitler and assisted Germany until they invaded. Even after Operation Barbarossa began, he proposed peace, which was rejected. During Stalingrad, Stalin wasn't in a position to extend any more offers of peace and had to, truly, fight for his survival.

Crucially, the U.S sent arms, tanks, planes, trucks, fuel, and other supplies like food to the Soviets. This was all over a four year period.

@Harmony losing many lives doesn't mean they beat Germany

@YukikoAmagi Germany was defeated by American industry, British intelligence, and Soviet blood.

Certainly all three contributed in every way, but Britain and the USSR could not have beaten the German war machine without American planes, tanks, and munitions.

And neither Britain not the USA could muster the numbers of troops that the divide did.

It was a team effort to win with parties needed and that is the truth.
