That was true of Roosevelt, but not many others in the U.S. government.

But for anyone--even a Sovietphile--to even insinuate that the victory was anything besides sheer weight in number, is absurd. ...Or how the Soviet's "tactics" evolved during the war. What tactics? Kid, what do you know about Soviet Army and their tactics? And what do you know about WW2? ...

The object of war is not "simply to win". It is to win with as many of your own people still standing as possible, or, as I put it last time, by the widest margin possible. It would profit the "victor" little, if his margin of victory is to have the last man standing - alone! Ch...

Do they?
I doubt if most Americans educated in the last 20 years know where or what Europe is.

How does one interpret these numbers? What would be the overall diameter of such a tire?
Danke.

Torquez, Thanks for that information. I have read about Soviet atrocities and mass murder in Poland in September 1939, but none of this. Your link: http://www.projectinposterum.org/docs/survivors.htm did not work for me, but this one does, and gives a directory of all the papers on the subject. http...

That happed because of the titanic efforts on part USSR as well faulty German planning –half the world hardly had anything to do with it. I would be the first to recognize the overwhelming contribution of the USSR to the defeat of Hitler. Without that contribution, his defeat would have had to awai...

Anyone agree with these points? Disagree? Uli, I'm not sure that the USSR was ever on it's last legs, but the capture of Moscow in December, 1941 might well have precipitated that. The German failure at Moscow, however, had nothing to do with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on the 7th. The day...
