antar att du i den begränsade förstålse av historia och... ja allt annat inte tycker om källor som vida överträffar de du pekar på, i egenskap av närhet till och insikt i, händeslen ifråga....

"I want to tell you what, from the Russian point of view, the president and the United States have done for victory in this war," Stalin said. "The most important things in this war are the machines.... The United States is a country of machines. Without the machines we received through Lend-Lease, we would have lost the war."
Nikita Khrushchev offered the same opinion.
"If the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war," he wrote in his memoirs. "One-on-one against Hitler's Germany, we would not have withstood its onslaught and would have lost the war. No one talks about this officially, and Stalin never, I think, left any written traces of his opinion, but I can say that he expressed this view several times in conversations with me."
Stämmer, sen var sanningen den att inget annat land ensamt heller hade kunnat matcha tyskarna. Vilket var anledningen till att halva världen gick ihop sig. Både Engelsmän och amerikaner var långt efter tyskarna i både matieriel kvalitet och soldat.
”On a man for man basis, German ground soldiers consistently inflicted casualties at about a 50 percent higher rate than they incurred from the opposing British and American troops under all circumstances (emphasis in original). This was true for when they were attacking and when they were defending.”
För de allierade var det en stor fördel då man hade 3 år på sig att förbereda en invasion medans tyskarna förlorade 2 miljoner av sina bästa män på östfronten 1941-1944.
