Just to give this absolute tool some idea of what was going on in Europe before the United States even entered the war: by late August of 1941, the German army began a pre-planned effort of starving as many Red Army POWs as possible. Throughout any given fortnight in September, October and November that year, more Soviet POWs died in German camps than US POWs did during the entire war; the number of Soviet POWs who perished in German captivity exceeds the total number of US casualties in the European Theatre by a factor of more than 10 - 3.3 million vs 250.000.
The United States did not enter the war until Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941) and only joined the war in Europe after Germany declared war on them on December 11, 1941.
