re: the fact is that US played relatively minor role in wwii

So that's what they teach over there in the Russian textbooks?

Albert,

Some in the U.S. government indeed wanted to invade Europe in 1942. The British were dead-set against it.

If we had- with green troops, inadequate landing craft, and the Luftwaffe able to contest control of the sky- we would have been slaughtered. Witness the Canadians at Dieppe.

However, it might have taken some pressure off the Soviets.

Best,

2MacLean
