<< The US beat Japan, and saved China from being Tojo's bitch. Face it, China's ass is still sore from the raping Japan gave it.
The US and USSR beat Germany, with a bit of help from the Brits, the Kangaroo folks and Moose people )). Actually, the Brits were very lucky Hitler had no capability to mount a water invasion. Honorable mention goes to the French Resistance (Even a nation of flaming pussies has a few heroes). >>
whoa whoa. Germany definately was devoloping barges to sail across the channel to invade England. Although I will give you it's not quite as cool as LSTs, etc, it still would have worked if the RAF had been neutralized. No no, the Germans could have gone across the Channel, it's lucky for the brits they won the air war. That, in turn, was luck due to German overconfidence and Goring's continual switching of targets. If the cards had fallen out even a little differently Hitler would have captured England, then turned and swept Germany, and, maybe the rest of Europe.
I believe the Germans had aproximately 4 chances to win the war and were within a hair's breath when they changed tact. Truly amazing, if you think of it like that.
