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?

A little research on your part into German military unit movements and the reasons behind them would bring this fact (rest and refit on the Western front) into sharp focus for you.
What does Dresden have to do with this discussion? I am not belittling the our efforts in WW II, I'm only trying to stop the incorrect popular belief that Europe was saved by the Americans twice and to give credit to the majority of effort by the Russians in WW II.
You do realise what the American public was told about the WW II European Theater was not based on the facts, right?.
BTW, G. Washington never chopped down the cherry tree either. Sorry to pop your bubble on that one too.
