The only reason and literally the only reason the nazi's lost is because Hitler was nuts. He had all but broken the isle of Britain with near constant shelling, rocket attacks and bombings. If Hitler had invaded Britain and then waited to invade Russia in the spring of 41 all the Americans would have been able to do is watch as the world turned black and red. Instead he thought the isle of Britain broken, devoid of exploitable resources and attacked Russia in winter. During this time high quality American steel and arms were flowing into Britain in advance of our own troops. The British commando forces were invaluable to the landings at Omaha and Normandy; as an American I would never devalue the blood, sweat and tears our European allies put into liberating themselves; however were it not for the American supplies and troops the entirety of Europe would speak German or Russian as a first language.
