Unpopular Opinions

[dragonrider]

I am assuming Hitler would eventually of taken over Italy, they basically had to hold their hand the entire war.

That isn't an unpopular opinion it is an American delusion.

America did not win the second world war , thats an unpopular opinion based on the fact that Hitler made the fatal error that Napoleon had made by attacking Russia in winter.

Hitler shot himself in the foot with that move.

Thank goodness he didn't learn from history, at least

Without America tying down the Japanese they would have been free to launch an invasion into Russia. Then it would be Russia that would be defeated in a pincer move instead of Germany. Think of that..... Not to even mention our contribution to the western front with our aid we gave great Briton even before we invaded on D-day. We also gave aid to Russia in terms of air support and supplies.

Let's not forget that we lost so many lives over there in normandy that the memorial/burial grounds there has pretty much been declared US soil.

To suggest that the US entering the war did not directly lead to the Allies winning is warped to say least.

That's not to say that America were the ones to win the war, but our involvement did lead to victory (yes there is a difference).


edit: meant to reply to pyschocat.. oops

Thank you all for your personal, direct involvement in this war!
