    Tell me one thing I have criticised about the US that would require me living there for an extended amount of time to know or not know.

    That's kind of the reason why America isn't so easy to take over and why we were so powerful in WWII. Our industry was protected. Nobody could reach us.

    We're on a whole 'nother continent on the other side of the world. It's not as if we're in Europe or Asia where our neighbors can reach us so easily. Good luck making that long of an amphibious assault against us. Your transports would be bombed before they got anywhere near our mainland.

    The only way anyone would have any luck invading the U.S. is if they first landed in Canada, Mexico, or South America and worked their way up on land, through the desert and jungles. Otherwise there's two huge ass oceans on each side of us keeping ya'll at bay.

    East Prussia? Beyurn? Hessen? Berlin? Munich? All guesses though, so don't get mad if none of them are right.

    That's debatable. The German might was already broken in the east before the Americans, British, Polish, Canadians, Dutch, French. the australians, the belgiums, the Czechs, the greeks, the New Zealanders, and the Norwegians landed on the french beaches of Normandy under British, American and Canadian command.

    Needless to say the British forces were defeated with ease in the beginning of the war leading to the retreat in Dunkirk.

    Americans always easily forget how they joined the War in Europe after the deciding battles had been fought already at the east front. The battle of Stalingrad commenced in 1942. The Germans lost their 6th army there. About half a million Axis forces lost in one battle. That's more than the US lost in the entire war.

    US Forces entered Italy in september 1943 and didn't even establish a western front in France till june 1944. May I remind you that in may 1944 the Soviet forces had just captured 250.000 german and romanian troops by one offensive against the German seventeenth Army. That was just one offensive of many that had been going on since stalingrad.

    The soviet union could easily have swepped over Europe without a Western front. The opposite isn't so sure.

    Well, we Brits could say we took out the Luftwaffe and the Kriegsmarine....not that Germany had much of a navy apart from submarines.

    america entered the war on dec. 7, 1941 with a grand total of 4 aircraft carriers.
    at that time we were already in a 2 front war. japan in the west and germany in the east.
    the reason it took so long for us to get to europe was because of germanys submarine fleet. their u-boats was sinking pratically everything we put on the water.

    as far as britain goes hitler didn't lose the men he did at russia, but he was stopped dead in his tracks at the english channel.
    why is that? given the v weapons and buzz bombs and the luftwaffe?
    there are 3 things that came together at that time.
    one britain had radar which alerted the british to an airstrike before the planes left the french coast.
    two the hurricanes and spitfires had the ability to takeoff and land on grass airstrips.
    and to a lesser effect three the buildup of american goods
    after america figured out how to defeat the german wolfpacks germanys fate was sealed.
