So, your assertion is that the P51 would have destroyed the Soviet army? Really?

The Soviets were used to fighting battles where they had no air superiority or were outnumbers by the skill of the Luftwaffe. The Germans had there own tank busters, and skilled pilots: read 'Stuka Pilot' by Hans Ulrich Rudel. He flew over 2500 sorties, busted hundreds of tanks, and they just kept coming.

We had neither the manpower nor the will to invade and conquer Russia in 1945.
