Kyle, you need to get off the dope. Noone, and I mean noone, ever does anything out of kindness. People do, states do not. The US sensed an opportunity and they took it. I'm sure they told you it was all an act of kindness. You shouldn't be so quick to swallow propaganda.
What the hell are you talking about? Where did I say anything about kindness? Of course we did it out of opportunity but our motives have nothing to do with what I am saying
Switerzerland did alright no? Are you actually advocating an invasion of a neutral state by your country?
You underestimate the sheer ammount of raw power that the Steamroller possesed, besides hitler couldn't get the caspians, he had no autarky, fat lot of good blitzkrieg does without petrol

Not only that, the Russians allowed the Germans to walk into cities so they just picked up T-72 producing plants and moved them behind the Urals outside the range of German bombers. Those, munitions factories, et cetera, et cetera...
The Russians would never have let Stalingrad or Leningrad fall either, as they killed 20% of their own troops in the battle for Stalingrad.
All of this, and it may have all been different if Hitler started the war a month later.

Yes I know it ended Germany's advance into Russia. But are you saying that you think Russia would have been able to push west and take Berlin if the Nazi's weren't preoccupied with the U.S.?

The only thing we really added in the European theater was our Army Air Corps. Our bomber groups outnumbered anything the Germans had, and we could build a fuckload of them. That and we had the second best fighter of the war.
I wasn't saying Ireland would attack Germany, I meant Germany would occupy them after taking Britian. And so what if Switzerland was safe during the war, Hitler had to focus his efforts on countries that were fighting him, but if he had neutralized those threats it doesn't seem likely he would have just ignored the small neutral countries
