Oh wait, you won't find that in books printed in the US !! That's too much of a "no, no" to print. Check out the European history.
If you are such the educated history buff you are pretending to be, then you should know that WWII was hardly being "won" by the allies prior to U.S. involvement. In fact, if you will actually open a book on the matter instead of spouting off nonsense, you will find that Britain was within mere months of German control.
First rule of debate is you can't B.S. your opinion as fact to people who actually know the material.
That is true. There was only a limited amount of time that the UK could hold off the Germans. However the fighting on the Russian front, and the skirmishing in Africa was testing the Germans more than the British. The supply of American bombers, fighters and pilots turned the tide of this a great deal. With their help, and constant day and night bombing, the war was won. Prior to that it was hard enought to keep up the defences. The Russians were also highly effective in spreading out the German forces, and helping with victory in the harsh winter.
If Hitler had left the Russian front, and concentrated on the East, he would have walked into the UK without a problem.
Without the help of the US we would not have won, becuase we would not have had the air capacity to level their froces. Then the US infantry came in when they were finally commited.
I believe, but can't remember, that the US were also providing naval escortation for the allies too, in Africa I think.
