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

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.

No, those are very fair points.

I think it's also fair to point out America was bearing the lion's share of the burden fighting Japan in the Pacific, as well. The Allies did contribute to the war in the Pacific, of course-but not nearly to the degree of the effort America put forth.
Even though the official policy was "Germany first"- Japan was a fanatical, powerful adversary. Sometimes I wonder how long Germany would have lasted had America not been fighting them both, simultaneously....
