America had at it's highest troop strength, 100 land divisions. That's it. The Allies could not have won in Europe without the Soviet manpower contribution, just as the Soviets could not have been effective without Allied (primarily American) logistics and resource support. I'm not defending the Soviet system of government, but I'm also not going to re-write history just because I want to discredit everything that another forum member posts, like some people here do. Out of curiosity, where exactly did the United States face off against "massive forces all over the planet"?So what. We didn't do that. Your point has nothing to do with reality. If my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle. I put that in there because it's just as relevant to reality as what you posted is.I'm not downplaying the western allies contributions. It's simplistic to assume that because I give the Soviets credit when it's due I must therefore take credit away from someone else.What's simplistic is referring to the Russian Front as a single front, obviously hoping that people will infer that it was nothing out of the ordinary and not much of a contribution to the war effort. It's also simplistic to ignore history for the sake of making your political views look better. I agree completely with you about Stalin being a really bad man and about the Soviet system being wrong, but denying the military contribution of the USSR and trying to re-write history is pretty funny coming from a guy who routinely calls out others for being ignorant of history.
