Really OT: WWII

WWII, now there folks was one to write home about. Let me just say that without Winston and Franklin at the helm, we'd all be posting in German.

I'm fascinated by WWII as well, but for some reason it has always been the Russian campaign that caught my attention. And one fact that keeps cropping up in books I read about it (most recently: Alan Clark, _Barbarossa_), is that by 1942 the Soviet Union could have beaten Germany without the help of the other allies.

Reminds me of a vintage Bugs Bunny episode I saw, in which "Uncle Joe" strolls through the Black Forest, smiling as Bugs beats up on Adolf. (I'm not making that up).

Sorry, but it's not every day that two of my favorite rant topics come up.
