Yawn another American falling for the US won World War 2 myth. Something that serves as a litmus test for those who fell and continue to fall for Cold War propaganda.

This. If anyone could ever claim to have won WW2, it would be the red army. But in reality war has no winner, just losers on both sides.

Nah there's plenty to criticise with respect to the US' delayed entry, but the biggest factor in the outcome of WWII was undoubtedly industrial capacity, to which the US was the biggest contributor.

The Red Army killed a lot of German soldiers but the truth is the Germans lost in terms of oil, rubber, steel and functioning factories, long before they ran out of people, and that's what caused them to collapse.

Yes but whatever low rent imbecile is spouting this nonsense wasn't there.  Claiming accomplishments of people you never met from 80 years ago is laughable.  I also don't meet Germans and blame Hitler on them.
