Yes, they could have lost. So could have the US if the Soviets were defeated and much of the German force that was destroyed on the Eastern front was intact. It's not like the US could have defeated the Nazis on their own, and neither could the Russians.I'm simply saying the Russian were defeated by the Germans in WWI. The Soviets were on the defensive without American equipment and the Germans were deep into Soviet territory. The Soviets didn't have the GDP, production, supplies, etc. to defeat the German on their own.[QUOTE="Stavrogin_"]
[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]And you all are acting like the Soviets losing to Germany was unrealistic and couldn't happen.KC_Hokie
So when Putin call American's 'parasites' my instant thought it they would be speaking German without us.
I think that you're overreacting. Those supplies did help but i doubt they were as vital as you claim. Many historians agree with me if using arguments from authority is allowed, those supplies were not decisive.On the other hand your remark about the Russians speaking German is wrong, because the same may go the other way. If the Russians were defeated, what makes you think that the US would have won without the Soviets? I have mentioned several times that most of the German casualties were on the eastern front, also their best soldiers died there. What makes you think that Allied victory was possible if the force destroyed on that front remained relatively intact?
