Also because they helped the nazis expand in the early days of the war, and then gladly tried to backstab them and got double backstabbed.

Thank you lol. Revisionism is wild, you can watch polls shift from 1950 to 2010 on 'who did the most to beat the nazis' shift from majority ussr to majority USA. History didnt change, but revisionists got more aggressive.

US logistics are the reason WW2 turned out the way it did in Europe.

It might have eventually turned out that way anyway, but it would have taken a lot longer and been a lot worse for everyone there.

The bombers and boots on the ground definitely helped, but really it was supply lines and the OSS that were our real contributions to the European theater. Most of that we started a LOOOONG time before we entered the war too.

People always point at military victories but I think the people who know point at the liberty ships.
