@BigMek456

Actually, the Allies won World War Two. Crediting just Russia is ignorant -_-

@SupremeAmerican Obvious troll is obvious, but nice try.

@thehippoman1 wrong. ONLY America won the war. Deal with it.

You're 100% correct, I'm Canadian too, and people always leave out Canada - I guess because it was part of the British Empire. We still, however, fought independently.

Anyway, all I'm saying is that the entire winning of the war was the effort of all the Allies.

@thehippoman1 I completely agree with you but americans are ingorant when they say they won the war. The russians took more shit and did more then the Americans did and we do owe them for not giving up. Im canadian and we get the least amount of credit and our troops took some of the worst shit in the european theatre. but you know "america won the war and bailed us out" bullshit. its so convienient america always comes in to take the glory last minute just like world war 1.

@thehippoman1 .. Once the U.S. boomed the hell out of Germany, they imported the Nazis to the U.S., and created most of the Alphabet Agencies and NASA.

@flamezealous German production of military hardware actually increased in spite of bombing (read up on Albert Speer). The Germans used oil from Romania and until the Soviets took the Ploesti oilfields, the Germans had enough oil. A surface navy was not important to Hitler's goal of occupying a contiguous Europe and the Soviet Union. The Russians did most of the gory fighting of the Wehrmacht and bore the horrible brunt of Hitler's scorched earth policies--unlike France, England and the USA.

@14goldmedals That's great. Always nice to see these classics being well cared for. I have a 1942 M1 Carbine. It shoots very well and is easy to maintain.

@thehippoman1 Russia turned the tides during Stalingrad and pushed the Nazis so far back they lost half of Germany.
