At it's peak, the U.S. Army alone had over 11 million personnel in uniform. Granted those weren't all frontline troops- but Germany likely couldn't have produced close to those numbers. Add to that the industrial might mostly undisturbed by war, and this was a no brainer. Germany's defeat was going to happen- right along with Japan's. No quick KO, no chance.

This is true, but even at our peak, leadership determined we couldn’t logistically support more than 90 divisions over seas. That’s not enough to take on Germany solo.
Nobody could’ve done what we did in WWII. I’m not arguing otherwise. I’m just pointing out what our generals knew to be the truth about our ability to defeat Germany by ourselves.
