Fun fact: during the course of the Western Front in the ETO, the Germans took more casualties in the West than the East.
I've always felt that the most tragic consequence of Market Garden failing is that we were unable to secure all of Germany before the Soviets got there, which could have possibly given the Western Allies a bargaining chip to force Stalin to recognize the Polish Government in Exile.
1. The Germans had been battling the Russians on the Eastern Front for a long time before the Western Front was opened with the Normandy landing. The Russians had already inflicted, and taken, enormous casualties.
2. The USA selflessly joined the war after Japan put on a lil fireworks show at a place called Pearl Harbor.
3. You are talking out of your backside in the the quoted post.
