Re: Nazis Helped Get Us To The Moon. The Reagan White House Helped Keep Them In The U
Yes and no. The Allied bombing campaign of Europe as well as the threat of an invasion denied the Germans huge amounts of resources that would have otherwise been available against the Soviets. The Soviets certainly bled the most blood, but a lot of that was because the Soviets were idiots and had spent the time ramping up to the war with Germany hanging all their best generals and murdering many millions of their own population.
Actually, yes. As much as it sticks in the craw of every right winger, the Russians bore the bulk of the fighting and the killing and the dying in the war with Germany. By the time we were able to intervene in any military way, the Germans had already lost the war in the East. It was just a matter of how long it was going to take the Russians to reach Berlin. The intervention by the US and the Brits in Western Europe shortened the time considerably, but not the outcome.
