    If an evil asshole were reviewing the history of Germany to try to avoid losing like the Nazis did, they’d see that they lost because the Allies, led by the United States, defeated them with superior military force. But if the Nazis WERE the United States, who would be able to do that?..

      The allies weren’t led by the United States. The US industrial base was critical and the US military involvement was significant, but we were late to the effort and the Russians did a lot more of the fighting. (With a ton of US equipment for sure.)

        Unfortunately, adding Russia to the list of countries who helped defeat the Nazis is just as unhelpful today. Just for fun, let’s throw in another country that helped defeat the Nazis: China!
