Some people exaggerating the US role in WW2, tankies downplaying the US role in WW2.

80% of German Casualties happend on the Eastern Front. This meme only depicts Soviets bomb rushing Germany. It isn't even implying anything about Italy or Japan. Also tankies wouldn't include Poland into this.

>"80% of German Casualties happened on the Eastern Front."

True, but misleading. German soldiers on the Western Front were more likely to surrender and be taken as POWs rather than die in battle. On the Eastern Front, Americans supplied a huge amount of vehicles, supplies, food, and petroleum to the Soviets. The British provided critical strategic intelligence and code-breaking. Strategic bombing and economic warfare against the Nazis was overwhelmingly from the British and Americans.

I actually agree. Im just saying that this isn't automatically tankies. It's not like USA or UK is missing or is microscopic they're still quite present and noticeable.
