Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]
Now, children, who defeated Germany?
1) you don't take into consideration the impact of the bombing of the German cities and industrial facilities by the Western Allies
2) you don't take into consideration the material support the US gave to the Soviet Union (their army would probably starve if it weren't for America - there was a severe famine in the Soviet Union in the years FOLLOWING the WW2 - but of course it wasn't just food that the US supplied to Russians)
3) you don't take into consideration the intelligence assistance the Western Allies gave Russians - in case of the Kursk battle which cost Germans so many resources and where they lost any strategic initiative, Russians knew about half a year in advance about the planned German operation thanks to the British codebreakers - as a result Russians had vast preparations in the area with as much as six lines of defences and thousands of tanks, planes and aritllery pieces deployed in the area
