Whether or not the US took Rome or invaded in 1944 the war was lost for Germany. They could no longer replace their losses while the Soviet ability to put in men and material into the field was steadily rising. The German army was essentially an army within an army. A small, highly mobil

The US involvement in the fighting in Europe was not pivotal to the outcome. Clearly any good student of history knows that US losses in Europe during WWII were completely drawfed by those of Germany and Russian, but to claim that US involvement in the fighting in Europe was not pivotal to

Bob, Even those numbers are sub number and does not say anything. It is possible that my source was wrong, but do not give me number who says nothing to that effect. If my source is right and US losses were 10% of allies total, around 10,000 US soldiers died in the Battle of Bulge. It is also so

I'm not too up on the history either. I do know that militqry equipment was provided on lend-lease, which meant that if it was still around after the war, the Brits had to give it back. So a month or so after V-J day, the U.S. under the influence of Congress said "OK, time's up, give it back." So

Won't argue with your figures, & I ain't a historian so please if anyone knows different please say so, but to my knowledge the assistance provided by the US to Britain during WWII was not "free". It had to be paid back, at least in part, which is why rationing continued in Britain for so long, we
