    The Battle of Stalingrad ended on February 2, 1943, with the surrender of German forces after months of intense fighting, marking a major turning point in World War II.

    D-Day occurred on June 6, 1944, marking the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France.

    Your response to me only makes sense if you think I am saying that the Soviets could have beaten the Nazis on their own with no lend lease program or the British holding out against the Nazis.

    Am I saying that? Can you quote one of the sections of my comments that is giving you that impression?

    If you would stop getting defensive for no reason and actually read my comments, maybe you’ll actually be able to understand what I am saying?

    Let me lay it out, as clear as fucking possible for you:

    • Americans provided material support to allies fighting the nazis

    • The goal of this is not to stop fascist ideology, but to keep the status quo maintained in Europe and Asia

    • The Soviets win Stalingrad and begin pushing west. Nazi defeat is all but inevitable.

    • American inaction here would result in a red german and red france. Possibly even red Italy and the overthrowing of Franco’s fascist regime in Spain.

    • Americans prioritize victory in Europe over the Pacific, even though the Japanese navy is the bigger threat to them.

    Ergo:

    • It’s not the defeat of fascism that the Americans were interested in, it was maintaining a status quo and preventing communism from spreading through Europe

    THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATRS OF AMERICA
