I do declare Americans can invent Google, but to use it is haram.
jews won ww2
Well yes, Americans helped develop Soviet automotive industry before the war.
This has nothing to do with my point. America was far more advanced compared to Soviets at that period.
>Be Soviets
>Told by western allies exactly where a major attack will come through
>Be told this information over a month in advance
>Preposition artillery and sight it all in
>Move thousands of cannons and men into position
>Build up defenses including pill boxes, bunkers, trench lines and tank traps
>Place is a fucking fortress
>Go so far as to make sure you have nearly 3x as many men than the Germans
>Make plans to stop the advance then cut off the retreat and destroy two entire Army groups then have a clear path all the way to Berlin
>Germans attack exactly as foretold
>Despite your overwhelming preparation and the fact that German supply lines are stretched to the breaking point, STILL manage to lose more men and material
>Fail your encirclement attempt
>Both Army Groups get away
>Because you screwed up, the war drags on for another two years
>Decades later everyone proclaims the Battle of Kursk to be the greatest victory ever
Stalin was ultra paranoid and he was certain that it was all an Anglo plot to force Soviets into war with Germany.
What Sup Forums thinks of Jews, that's what Stalin thought about Anglos.

>Operation Market Garden has remained a controversial battle for several reasons. Allied tactics and strategy have been much debated. The operation was the result of a strategy debate at the highest levels of Allied command in Europe. Much post-war analysis has thus probed the alternatives that were not taken, such as giving priority to securing the Scheldt estuary and so opening the port of Antwerp. But Montgomery insisted that the First Canadian Army should clear the German garrisons in Boulogne, Calais and Dunkirk first although they had all suffered demolitions and would not be navigable for some time. Admiral Cunningham warned that Antwerp would be "as much use as Timbuctoo" unless the approaches were cleared, and Admiral Ramsay warned SHAEF and Montgomery that the Germans could block the Scheldt Estuary with ease.[155] The (French) Channel ports were "resolutely defended" and Antwerp was the only solution. But the Germans reinforced their island garrisons, and the Canadians "sustained 12,873 casualties in an operation which could have been achieved at little cost if tackled immediately after the capture of Antwerp. .... This delay was a grave blow to the Allied build-up before winter approached."
>Montgomery insisted that the First Canadian Army
>Canadian
Lets settle this debate once and for all. Who was at fault here, Montgomery or the leafs?
Well, its not like it wasn't reality to some extend.
The allies thought about intervening in the Talvisota fairly openly, and there was the plans for operation overlord
I have a question for Slav hating naziboos. Do you justify the rape of millions of Slavic women in ww2 by the Axis? Here's what I found regarding this subject.
The following is a particularly telling excerpt: "We went to the village near the town of Gatchina Rozhdestvenno - told who served on the Seversky airport Private Peter Shuber. - We had a mission: to bring the girls the officers. We have successfully carried out the operation, all cordoned off the house. We collected a truckload of girls. All night the girls kept the officers, but in the morning they gave us - the soldiers. In large cities, organized stationary brothels. It was standard practice Wehrmacht. "There were soldiers' brothels," puffs "were called - remember shturmbannfyurera SS Avenir Bennigsen. - Almost all fronts. Girls from all over Europe, of all nationalities, from all camps collected. By the way, an indispensable accessory of a German soldier and an officer were two condoms, which are regularly issued in the army. " But while in Europe the Wehrmacht brothels staffed with more or less voluntarily, on Soviet soil invaders such delicacy is not going to show. Girls and women for the German soldiers for the most part collected by force - a scene that will forever remember the people trapped under the occupation. In Smolensk, for example, women dragged by the arms and hair, dragged on the pavement - in the officer's brothel, organized in one of the hotels. In case of refusal to stay in a brothel followed the shooting. After the Red Army drove the Germans out of Kerch, views of Red terrible sight presented itself: "In the prison yard was found mutilated shapeless pile of naked girls' bodies, wild and tortured by the Nazis cynically."
Montgomery was an overrated idiot.
Yes, but to think it's an Anglo plot while everyone is warning you about the invasion and Hitler is massing troops on the border is just paranoia.
