The Romanians were weak as frick. The Commies rode through them like grass.

And yes, the Finns fricked Joe's shite up for a while.

Italy didn’t have bad soldiers so much as they had bad leadership. The times that they were led properly the soldiers showed showed courage and bravery etc. It was the officers that drug them down.

Germany was tops until they started using conscripts from other countries near the end of the war.

France had the worst. Most of them are now LSU fans

Just FYI.. The Louisiana maneuvers were actually a test of the USA to see exactly the condition of the US Army and showed huge flaws.

Around that time somewhere, the structure of army organization changed.

It was after Stalingrad that the German Army began conscripting everything left in the country.

My vote for Best US General... Truscott.

Any country that lost definitely didn’t have the best soldiers

The Germans were a bunch of scrubs

The Germans were doing meth, so they had that in their corner.
