Hi CobaltBlue; Re: "Ask a military historian whether the Soviets alone, or the Allies alone, could have beaten Germany. I believe you will learn that Hitler's fatal error was fighting a two front war." Hitler was badly outnumbered by allied production. Even if he had never attacked the USSR, nor declared war on the US, he'd have still lost. It might have taken a few years more, but he was doomed from the beginning. His air force couldn't even defeat the British, and that was before the USSR or the USA got directly involved. Even under the worst conditions (best play by Hitler) the war would have ended by 1947 (presumably with the nuclear bombing of Berlin). The best way of analyzing this is to look at prewar iron aluminum and manufacturing. Germany was badly outnumbered. -- Carl
