Re: It makes me cringe to think we wasted a single American life during WWII in the effort to liberate that country from Nazi occupation.. The US didn't wage war in Europe to terminate the Nazi regime... Remember: Hitler and the Nazis came to power in 1933 as the last bulwark against Communism and to prevent a Bolshevik revolution in Germany... The Brits favored the Nazi regime so long as it intended to wage war against Soviet Russia. Hitler, however, failed to deliver --his Russian campaign got nowhere, and, in 1943, the European bourgeoisie faced the ominous prospect of a Bolshevik revolution in Germany (like the 1917 October Revolution in Russia)... followed by the invasion of Germany by Russian troops! The US had to intervene in order to prevent the wholesale transformation of Germany --and then Europe-- into a Communist powerhouse... If it was just a matter of fighting Hitler and the Nazi regime, the US should have gone to war in 1939, together with the French and the Brits, or even earlier, not in 1941 when Hitler had already invaded half of Europe.
