Hawk,
Interesting discussion about WW2. I see two truths that appear contradictory at first:
(1) the US alone could have defeated the combined might of every other industrial nation, but
(2) it was the Soviet Union broke the back of the German war machine.
By December 1941, when Germany had already lost half a million men in their futile attempt to take Moscow, the war was lost for them. The Nazi killing machine would go on for another 3-1/2 years, but by June 1944 Germany was already broken beyond repair. Yes, allied bombing was huge, but German industrial output was strong through 1944.
