The Germans were defeated as soon as the snow fell. The Russians had overwhelming superiority in numbers of all weapons. There was no reason for the US to get involved in Europe in WW2. Plus Roosevelt baited Japan into attacking the U.S. When the fleet was moved from San Diego to Pearl Harbor, the Admirals knew it was a very bad spot to put the Pacific fleet, that basically, in the course of an attack at Pearl Harbor, the ships would be trapped, with only a narrow path of escape. It took 40 years for Admiral Kimmel to be exonerated. The only good thing that came out of our involvement in Europe, is we get to play with the losers guns.
