Default Re: War Guilt and Why the Allies Won the War

Not much mention of the USSR effort in defeating Germany...

"What defeated the Axis was the enormous production by the Allied powers, especially the United States"

What of Soviet production capability?

"You can't argue that this was due to superior Allied tactics or weaponry as many Axis planes, tanks, etc."

Er... Well yes you can. I would say that by the wars end the US and British/Commonwealth armies were as tactically aware as their German counterparts and had perfected combined arms warfare.

I would also argue that technological superiority means little if the design is too complex to build/maintain and has no fuel to drive/fly it.

"So what held up Germany from conquering Britain? Simply put, the English channel."

So not the Royal Navy or the RAF then? Not too mention the complete lack of German research into amphibious warfare.



As for the Native American thing... Whats that got to do with WW2?
