The FACT is Dave, if Hitler had not turned on Stalin and invaded Russia, Europe at least and quite likely Britain as well would have been German territories. WWII was a joint effort, and the Soviet contribution dwarfed the allied contribution in Europe combined. I really doubt you have much knowledge of the Soviet part of "The Great Patriotic War", the immense battles they fought and the amount of German effort required. Nothing in western Europe or N. Africa comes close to matching it in scale, with the one exception of the Normandy landing. For instance - what do you know of the Battle of Kursk, the largest armored vehicle battle in history and the first defeat of the German blitzkrieg attack?

The USSR was broke and we did provide much of their equipment, but most importantly they provided the men and lost 20,000,000 citizens and soldiers..... No, Hitler would not have been defeated without us, but we sure as hell did not do it alone as you RW nationists have convinced yourselves... How do you think things would have turned out if those millions of German soldiers were free to fight on the western front...kinda makes you feel uncomfortable thinking about it.... The Europeans are certainly aware of it.....you have been deprived of that bit of history..
