How and why Germany was defeated is an argument without context since the massive amounts of men and material expended to defeat the Axis is simply incredible. Focus on the Axis.
Then there is always the Japanese problem should we have not engaged them and they had opened a second front in Russia.
There is no question that the US bore the brunt of the entire spectrum of WWII, not just Europe but the war in the Atlantic, Africa, the Med, the Pacific and Asia. Did we have starring roles in each theater? No, of course not.
But without the US, our willingness to supply men and materials around the world the outcome of WWII is up for grabs.
No other country could have pulled it off. Sorry.

Seahawk, in all due respect, you are making an apples to oranges comparison. I made not claims that the US was not the dominate world wide power. I stated that in the European Theater the Russians did most of the actual battlefield work of defeating the Germans. Let's stick to that, OK? Can you provide evidence to the contrary?
I agree completely that no other country could have done what we did on a world wide scale in WW II. But that was not the item being discussed, was it?
