@Soundwave3591 Thank you for the compliment, and may I say the same to you. I remember catching a show on the History channel. It focused on Philadelphia's role during the war. They made everything there, it was crazy. Parachutes, tanks, ships (I think mainly destroyers), uniforms, bullets, guns, planes. They had I believe one of two plants in the country that produced aluminum alloys for planes too.

@Soundwave3591 never knew that

@lsteer100 yeah, considering they pretty much thrashed them all by themselves. America's contribution was relativly minor.
they treated it as the triumph of Commuism over Fascism, up to the fall of the USSR. since then, they do it to memorialize the fallen. there was a BIG one in 2005 for th 60th anniversary.

@Soundwave3591 really?

@dcl32 first off, let me compliment you on your reasonable and logical responses. you are a rare breed on this site. second, the Major American contribution to the European campaign was as "the arsenal of Democracy". every member of the allies used American equipment at some point. the Pacific was Our battleground, however: US vs Japan, no holds barred.

@lsteer100 they do a victory parade every year to commemorate the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945.

@Soundwave3591 Oh I know we didn't win it single handedly. Not even close. Even if it had just been Germany we were fighting and not Japan, there's no way we could have done it alone.

@dcl32 i mentioned THAT detail a few comments up, and i acknowledge that. My Main argument is this: America did not single handedly win WW2, but we didn't HIDE from it either.

@Soundwave3591 Mind you we had an entire ocean to cross and our troops were equipped with out-dated WWI gear.
i bet Russia still has thousands of those in underground storage facilities
