As Usual

Brits don't make rediculous statements like that, only people like you.

Britain of course won WWI and WWII with just a little help from a friend but what are friends for but to help .

That is a ridicules statement. Britain and the common wealth, the US and the USSR combined to defeat Nazi Germany. They also had the help of partisan and guerilla forces from most of occupied Europe. Don't forget Britain stood alone for ~ a year.

As you can see Brit I to thought it was absurd, or as I said ridicules. Being 1/2 British I'm aware of some off color remarks he's made about us in the past. I think Tet tried to make light of it by calling it satire how sincere he was, well? I gave him the benefit of the doubt.

Without the Canadians, the battle of Atlantic had been in jeopardy. The RN didn't have enough ships to escort the convoys. The Canadian shipyards produced many escorts ships and the Canadian navy increased a lot during the war years.

No doubt the US contributed a lot during the war, but so did the UK and the commonwealth countries.

The US really couldn't help much early on except “for massive lend lease” until 42. Even then it took us > year or so to ramp up from a small antiquated armed force to a effective fighting force. By the time we took Tunisia "together with the British and common wealth forces" that we were coming on to our own 5-43. The British and common wealth armies had fought the Axis in North Africa since 9-1940.
Although the Americans lost thousands of men in Normandy the British and Canadians lost ~ 60 thousand dead and wounded taking Caen. Note: Caen was one of the most heavily fortified areas in the world and was critical for a victory in France.
It was after the Normandy campaign 8-44, that the US’s raw numbers started to come into play
 
This is history but do you actually think WW2 would have been won without lend lease to Britain and the USSR and 5 million US troops. Do you think the Iron curtain would have fallen without the US, or that Soviet expansionism would have been stopped.


If we are only talking about GermanyYES.
For United Kingdom it would have been a costly war and it would have been at the expense of allowing Japan to essentially dominate Asia and remove their colonial presence there. The Eastern front was a war of massive size and it was where Germany was beaten. And the Russians would have done so in any event, with or without lend lease.

The biggest US contribution was not the defeat of Germany because Germany was already well on its way to lose the war at the time of Normandy. I think the primary military US contribution to the war in Europe was helping in liberating Western Europe before Russia beat Germany and moved into Western Europe.

I don´t think there is any doubt that it was the Americans who was the key player in defeating the Japanese and thereby ended the Japanese occupation of East Asia and Southeast Asia.

I´m convinced that the war in Europe was won on the Eastern front and the Cold War was won in Normandy.
 
I disagree, without the lend lease the Soviets had faced problems with their supplies. The oil fields the Russians had to their disposal where not providing the Russians with the oil required for the military operations of this scale. To feed all the military personnel and the civilian workers would have been a huge problem too.

Britain had faced real problems without the lend lease, the supplies coming from Canada and the US needed to get to the British isles and these supplies had never reached GB without the lend lease.
 
It´s a subject that we will never get a clear answer to.
Even historians today disagree.
Which version is accurate, is probably impossible to prove.

This is true. As some think that Britain could draw off just enough forces to allow the USSR to eventually win on the Ostheer.

Lend lease to the USSR began in the fall of 41. The USSR was still teetering in early 42, with huge losses at Rzhev. The huge Russian armies were made mobile to a great degree by the US 6 wheeler "trucks". Enormous food stocks were provided to both Britain and the USSR as well as jeeps, radios and other equipment. The US was the largest economic power of the war, untouchable by Germany "except by U-Boat".

This doesn't include the battlefield contributions of the US who generally fought along side Britain and the common wealth.

Of course the main thing is that the Nazi's were defeated. However it's correct to say the Soviet people suffered more than any other and that their sacrifices were exceptional. ~2/3's of all Germans that were killed in WW2 died fighting in the east front.
 
In addition to the lend lease. The Russian production of equipment was delayed when they moved all the major industries from the European parts of Soviet Union to the Urals. To get these industries up and running again took awhile. A rather impressive move by the Ruskies

Good point. They didn't match Germany's output of war materials until some point in 43.

If your hearing voices you may require medication. This is likely a symptom of a nervous-mental ailment which would explain your countless nonsensical posting. There is no shame in admitting one requires help.
