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 the outcome of the war is utterly asinine. Do I believe the Hollywood myth that corn fed American farm boys singlehandedly swooped it to pull the Allies chestnuts from the fire? Of course not.

But maybe June 6th 1944 rings a bell? Germany certainly could have thrown more forces at the Russians if not for Normandy and Italy. Indeed, when US forces liberated Rome just 2 days before D Day, the Italian campaign was tying up 26 German divisions that could have otherwise been used as reinforcements. Not pivotal? I beg to differ.
