    Wasn’t there some copypasta about WWII being totally unbelievable? Like the USA busting out a super weapon and having a kind hearted, unbelievably capable, wheelchair bound president? And “bad guys” so bad they murder millions just because they’re so evil? And the Allies being lead by a perpetually drunk burnout from WWI who could spit hilarious one-liners?

      It’s crazy how much of the actual war was one mayor fuckup away from going completely different routes, from Rommel being stopped instead of becoming that semi mythical Wehrmacht leader in france, to the destroyer looking for an american sub leading scout planes directly to the japanese fleet at Midway, the whole war has so much crazy stuff.
