re: At full strength who was more powerful in ww2 Germany or US?

The USA island hopped across the Pacific and tore the Jap military apart limb by limb until they lost the will to fight. The Japs were a much scarier opponent than the Germans simply because their soldiers wouldn't surrender and fought to the death.

If the USA could do that, then yeah, they could have beaten the Germans with no Soviet help.

If you take even the the slightest amount of time to understand the logistics required, you’d know our leaders agreed it’d be foolish to send more than 90 divisions overseas.

Assuming the USSR sits out, even if you consolidate all of our efforts on Germany, we still have nowhere near the supportable manpower needed to prevent them from possessing land superiority throughout the entire continent.

And this isn’t a slight against our armed forces. What we accomplished during WW2 is completely without pier.

But we never possessed 300 divisions. And even if we did, we never believed it would be possible to effectively supply such a force so far from home.

The Soviets saved Europe from the Nazi’s and we saved Europe from the Soviets. It’s as simple as that.
