In reality it was more the russian element than anyone else.9/10 of german casualties occured on the russian front.
We destroyed the germans air superiority
The americans had the japenese.
The brits and americans had the ITIs

The allies win that war hitler lost it and by that I mean Hitlers invasion of russia sealed the deal for his defeat. Hitler would have bested us in 1942/43 if he hadn't sent 3 million jerrys east and sent an invasion force here we would have been had.

If hitler had been patient he could have helped the japenese with the US if they had to attack pearl harbour but if the Japs didn't do that and themselves waited until they had china and indo china they could have double fronted russia with hitler in 1943/44. Then moved on to gaining more emire elsewhere.

Isn't that just repeating what Matt said? (8+/

The Brits dealt with the Italians, we practically single handedly dealt with them in Sudan Ethiopia and Libya. The Royal Navy had a right old time with the Italian navy who actually were very effective. The Italians surrendered once the invasion of mainland Italy had started.

We also along with the Americans wiped out the German air supremecy as you said.

Yes the Americans dealt with the japanese, but you forget the Indians, Australians and New Zealanders who also play a part in Asia.

Britain had to fight alone for nearly a couple of years against the Germans and Vichy French all over the place including North and Central Africa. Though we kept millions of Germans tied down all over the place with attacks and raids on Norway, Northern France, supporting the resistance in central and southern Europe.

Yes we also supplied the Russians with intelligence and weapons. So while much of the actual carnage was along the Russian front the fact that we hindered the Germans in our own small way did help the Russians.

LOL!

You were right!
