Give me a break.
Agreed that the USA provided a WONDERFUL supply line, and without the US supplies, the war would have gone on forever.
As well, the troops/armor/bodies themselves helped out tremendously in Europe/Africa.
And, Japan was definately a HUGE American push.
The United States was not the HERO or the "White Knight" of battle in WWII. We were involved just the same as many other countries, and it was DEFINATELY a collective victory in Europe.
The war would have been lost without the USA's involvement,
The war would have also been lost without British involvement.
The war would have also been lost without Russian involvement.
