The British Empire and the Sovient Union did more then anyone that's the fact and we was gonna win the war with or with the help of the Americans. All they did is end the war a few years earlier then it would have ended but they didn't even want to help but was forced into it after they were attacked

A couple of posts ago you said it was a 33% equal share, and now you've already pushed the US to a bit part :laugh: All we had the ability to do was hang in there, but without the US we had nowhere near enough man power and machinery to get back on to mainland Europe, and that would be the bare minimum required. Out of us, Russia, and the US, we were by far the least consequential.

We had the intelligence and without that Russia would have probably gone under aa they were being pushed back but they had space in there favour and Hotler didn't know how to deal with so much land mass that the Russians were our maneuvering them and we would have had to have retreated I think you are underestimating the role of the British empire even when we had the like of India and parts of Africa in to help us the only thing we didn't have was the numbers

Denver this just isn't true. Russia weren't able to hold on because of our intelligence, they were able to hang on because it's a huge place, and most importantly, winter hit. Hitler got it badly wrong.

We were on our arse at this stage, and were a million miles away from being able to initiate any kind of counter offensive.
