Augmentor -I am not sure I understand your response, I am not inferring that 'I' saw but rather the 'battle' saw .......

Darky -Again I was not stating that the russians won the war and we took the credit but rather that we did not do it alone. Since the Germans had an enemy in the East that had an endless supply of manpower and said enemy (if able to overcome Germany's defenses) could throw Germany through the ringer, Germany had to send massive amounts of troops and weoponry to the east. If this threat was not there, the US and its allies would have had a lot more to contend with.
