Laz, Without us, there would not have been a Patton, Eisenhower, or Bradley, to be in charge of the different factions of Europe, and send them in the right direction. Without us, there would not have been an Anzio, Salerno, and most importantly, there would have been no D-Day. Without us, everybody in Europe would be speaking in German now. Without us, there would not have been the counterattack during the battle of the bulge, and Hitler's Panzers would have made it all the way to the English channel, get loaded on barges, and romp through the English country side. If Solon thinks that we just played a limited role in WW2 in Europe, he should go back to high school history. Because he is a Canadian, he won't own up to the fact the Montgomery was a fop, and wouldn't move until he was sure he wouldn't face another Dunkirk. He had no guts left.

The Russians stopped the Germans on their own as far as Russian soil goes. As to why the U.S. waited till P.H. to enter the war--you tell me?! In any case, when the U.S entered the European Theater the German Army was a shadow of what it had been. So if the Japanese had NOT attacked Pearl Harbor--WHEN was America planning to assist against the threat of National Socialism and Communism? What year (or contingency) did the brass have in mind? Is that a fair question? One wonders about such details... I know that some Canadians were active in the profits available in a mighty Germany. I have heard Capitalists from other Nations were as well. Oh..it is a bad old world! ;-) And just as an aside: When Hitler took power there were over 7,000,000 people unemployed in Germany and the Communist Party was fast becoming the people's choice. Hitler stopped that,uh huh.
