    We didn't win that's for sure.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Kadagar once again shows his amazing ability to not read his own links and misrepresent what they say.

    The 1944 and 1945 questions were not asked to the French population. The 2004 one was.

    France.
    Our unexpected surrender ruined the too premeditated plans of Wermacht once and for all.

    In what concerns which country has contributed the most to the Bos' defeat, the Soviet Union is undeniably the answer, as they might have also prevailed over Germany, even without the American intervention.
    Of course, the U.S.A. gained the most, from Axis' defeat.

    The only place where Japanese army excelled was fighting British and Dutch colonial troops.” And French in Indochina.

    It was Kursk. In 1943. Where's Panzerjaeger at? He's got all these numbers memorized, he'll set you straight” Yes and no. Pz always over estimated Manstein and trusts him about the possibility of a breakthrough in Kursk, even when the figures show had still more tanks in reserve than the Germans could possibly fight off.

    Compare these 2:

    A) Soviet Union didn't join the war.
    B) United States didn't join the war.

    What do you think would have the most impact? Again, the allies could have done it without the US, without Soviet and Germany focusing 100% on Britain the war would have been lost no matter how many ship convoys the US sent.
    That is an odd comparison to consider. Who joined vs. who was forced to participate? The Soviet Union had no choice but to win. For the U.S. armed action was still a tool of politics rather than necessary for survival. The comparison lacks validity because we don't need to debate such a topic 60 years later? Every source I've ever read has readily acknowledged Soviet victory in Europe.

    Kadagar AV, is GC correct regarding why you post this? I rather believe that since you didn't list any other participants, GC is correct.

    Was interesting numbers in OP, so I thought I would share them.
