Which was in German hand for most of the war against Russia. I can't see the American's building a railway to a different guage in German occupied Poland/Russia so they could supply Russia.


I think they probably would have, the effort required would have been huge and if Hitler removed the communists they would have been very pleased. Remember that removing Fascism wasn't the prime purpose of the allies efforts - look how Spain was left under the control of Franco. President Bush's grandfather was convicted of helping the Nazi's war effort, so working with the Nazi's would not have been beyond reason.

Agreed getting taught English at the same time as getting your degree is a definite advantage. In Sweden ALL teaching is in English from an early age.

The Axis powers had 90% of their strength against the Soviet Union. By the time the Allies invaded in 1944 the Axis were in full retreat. Do you think having an extra 10% would have allowed Germany to defeat the Soviet Union? Seems highly unlikely.

Yes, Poland defeated the Russians in 1920. However the army's were ten times bigger in 1943.

Trucks, yes. Boots yes, Locomotives, yes.

But for the other stuff, what %age of the total Soviet needs/production? Did it make teh difference between winning or loosing, or were the 20Million Russia dead a better contribution.?

WW2 cost Britain £300Billion, $1200billion in 1945 money.

Your 50 => 700Bn calculation is wrong. Its more like $250Bn. Britain paid for it BTW, it wasn't a gift.

Was not bad. Its seems much cheaper than when I went, which turned out to the busiest day of the year. At the price theya re charging 42euro a night, its worth it.

Thats impossible. How exactly did the US get supplies to Russia? They had to be shipped from US to Uk, then on by the British navy to Archangel.

It is physically impossible for the amount of supplies you claim to have been shipped, Britain barely get enough through to supply its army one tenth the size of Russia's. Britain did supply as much as it could but the figures were tiny compaired to the USSR's needs.

The allied bombing didn't significatly affect production. What hurt them far more was the reapture of the oil fields by the Russians. The US did supply one thing in major numbers - trucks by the hundred of thousand. In fact the Ruskies had a saying the USA stamped on the stood for (in russian) Fu** that Son-of-bit*h Adolf.

However your claim that the US supplied 98% of Soviets supplies is laughable. Stopping the Germans advance to Moscow and at Stalingrad were entire Soviet doings, there were hardly any supplies sent by that stage in the war. BTW the UK made a considerable effort to resupply the USSR.

Getting a degree doesn't make you smart.
My A-levels were way harder than my degree. Maths Physics Chemistry, I had to do 6hours homework every night and at weekends.

Some subjects are a joke, arts subjects for instance. Reading a F***ing book, wow.

Depends on the course, the University and how much coursework you had to do. My engineering degree was about 30hours lectures and maybe 15 hours coursework.

You can always get a postgraduate if you want. I can't see the point.

Ok, good point. As its not a practical degree though its not necessary a good sign of an education system. Old communist eduction systems were always said to be good for the fundamentals, whereas what might be needed is more practical subject or teaching.

Battle of the Bulge? Thats when the Germans attack at the weakest point manned by Americans. The British attacked the Germans around the north of the bulge and helped stop the advance.

The war in the west was trivial compaired to that in the east. Number of Soviets/allies kia/captured in the east 20Million. Germany kia/captured 15million

USA deaths 418K, UK 450K in all theatres. The total number of Germanys facing the 1944 landings was 400K. 90% of the Axis armies were fighting Russia.

As I said, the US and UK contributions were comparatively trivial. The US didn't volunteer to fight either Germany or Japan. Both declared war on the US and attacked it.


As Russia would have defeated Germany without help of the US, in May 1945 Russia could have simply driven from Berlin to Paris and installed communism throughout Europe, putting allied troops there prevented that. Stalin would have all Germany's technology. Such as the V2. So no space technology for the USA. Whether even Russia could of invaded Britain is debatable. Th 1940 plans for operation Sealion would have resulted in the destruction of the German invasion force.

The USA involvement was not an altruistic sacrifice, it made a considerable profit out of it. and protected its self from eventual defeat by the commiunists.

And many British people, especially in the South East have a life dominated by work and a lousy life style. Getting paid more money doesn't male it better, worse if anything because more is expected. Some companies expect you to be available 24-7.

Those source quote are now been proved to be wrong. I didn't write the article, I had no input on it, I'm merely trying to get you to read it.

Read the article before spouting off. English came to Britain before the Roman invasion possibly from northern France.


How on earth would a Chinese person get to Poland 1000 years ago? Get on a train?
