in another thread there was a link to this twitter feed and I noted the comment..
I'm not so sure this is true. I think that while the US didn't single handedly win WW2 as sometime movies would like us to believe, that without their entrance, the war would have favoured the Axis.
Without the US Carriers and manufacturing base that kept planes in the air, the Pacific would have been lost to Japan, and without the backup of US troops then it is unlikely that the Allies would have had the forces to have staged a successful D-Day assault. This would have left the West of Europe almost undisputed and in Germany's hands. Without the bomber assistance from the US then the RAFs raids would not have crippled the German production, and all of that might could have been focused on defeating the Russians.
I'd suggest that without the US, Germany would not only exist, but would have taken over Europe.
Thoughts?
