saying the US ‘barely participated’ in WW2 is pretty egregious, just because the USSR did the majority of heavy lifting and very much could have won by itself doesn’t mean that’s what happened.
the majority of post-normandy heer formations deployed in the western front were the best equipped ones, the western front was denser than the eastern front and lend lease was large enough in scale to certainly have made a material difference. that doesn’t mean that the US won the war by itself, or that the american sacrifice was anything comparable, but this sort of revisionism comes off as pretty crankish tbh.
“Communist ideology, which tends to equate human achievement with industrial production and emphasizes the effect of production on history, prompted the Soviets to seek victory in the factory. In this endeavor, they enjoyed astonishing success under very difficult circumstances.”
An US military wrote this !? i am mind-blown that this was published 😳 😳 😳

I recommend reading this book produced by US military, it makes it pretty clear that allies played a minor role in the war overall
a few quotes from it

US military tends to be a lot more sober about these things, or at least they used to be.
Fascinating and I’ve got some people who should probably see this, thank you!
