From what I understand, it had a much greater impact in the west than the East. We were winning in the East, but as you say, bombing each other to bits in the West. There is every chance the Germans would have fallen first, they had a lower access to weapons and oil. Plus the problems of controlling and providing for the occupied countries. The truth is, no one knows, so any theories are just that, there is no if X happened then Y wouldn't have and therefore . . .

I think the trouble is a lot of Americans seem to believe that the US had no stake in the war and just went in to rescue every one. In truth, Hitler declared war on you, and you would have had to deal with him sooner or later anyway.

Not what this thread is about, but it does frustrate me when people make statements that are almost impossible to support.
