I did not dismiss the Russian contribution. In fact, without the Yanks I have no doubt Russia would have "liberated" France, just as they "liberated" East Germany, Poland, Lithuania, etc.
Your assertion that the Western front was a "rest and refit" area for the German military is one I have not previously encountered. Perhaps you would also assert that the inhabitants of Dresden regarded February 13, 14, 15th 1945 as little more than one long airshow?
P.S. You do realise the moon landings
weren't faked don't you?
