You know, I could spend my time patiently commenting on this image’s claims, like the Engima, Kursk, the Lend–Lease package and whatnot, but what really frustrates me about this discussion is the utter silence regarding the sheer amount of crap that the Third Reich received from the Dominion of Canada, the French Republic, Imperial America, the United Kingdom… and that is only talking in terms of commodities, not anything else.
It’s probably just my depression but it feels like nobody but me cares about any of this.
Cracking the enigma: Only influenced the war at sea in the atlantic. Did fuckall for the soviets.
Kursk: The soviets were the attackers, why would they need warning? “Careful, the nazis might shoot back.”? No shit, Sherlock
Opening three different fronts: Years after the Soviets asked for it. Landings in europe only happened after the Soviets delivered heavy defeats to the Axis. Almost as if those landings were not intended to help but to keep the soviets from taking it all…
Invading Poland and muh massacres: 1. The so called invasion prevented a full occupation of Poland by Germany in 39. 2. Which massacres? Katyn? The one done with german ammo, in the middle of nowhere and conveniently found by the Wehrmacht??
Fighting on two fronts: The Soviets fought on three - Germany and allies to the west, Finland and allies to the north and Japan to the south-east (before kicking their teeth in so hard at Kalkhin Gol, they asked for a non-aggression pact).
Muh strategic bombing: Dind’t actually cripple Germany, because target were civilians not industry.
Muh Lend-Lease: Still only a small fraction of what the Soviets produced, the trucks and radios were very usefull tho. 575 billion looks big in vacuum, but in a war on the scale of WW2? Its going grocery shopping once.
