Everyone was fighting Russia. You didn't have to be Axis to be fighting Russia.
Finland proved that.
Fun Fact: Kesselring was the guy whos name would be used in the infamous Kessel Run from Star Wars
And fighting greece, China, and Canada.
What meaningful cooperation was there in those cases, Bourbon?
Germany fighting with Italians in Greece and the Japanese in China.
Hitler was a good leader in terms of charisma and lifting his people out of the depression, I am NOT saying he was a good person, but his people did technically elect him, so he did something to win them over. As a general, Hitler was an absolute buffoon
not completely
Like.... what? Which offensives did they plan together?
for example, his generals wanted to continue grinding on Moscow
He made some calls that a 12 year old could've done better
Germany fighting with Italians in Greece and the Japanese in China.
Which grand strategy did they formulate together?
Canada was just constantly weeding out their spys.
and he said no sit still and starve
Mhm
Just because they weren't shooting at each other doesn't mean they were allies. It just means they weren't enemies.
no, that was Stalingrad, which was an entirely different can of beans
oh yeah my bad
still a stupid choice though
Hitler ordered the 6th army south to take the southern oil fields he knew they needed to be able to maintain their Panzer Divisions
and Normandy was a complete flop
that was more due to the ingenious plan to fool the germans into thinking that they were landing in calais
So, technically, then the US was always fighting in WWII right from the start, Bourbon.
yeah the inflatable armies and stuff played a part in that right?
If that's what you consider an ally.
No because they were selling to both sides.
Not one side
no they were only sending supplies. not troops
Oh fr?
also fun fact, the Oil Fields Hitler wanted to take were the same Japan tried taking from Russia in the battle of Khalkin Gol in an earlier conflict
And there was no troop support
American Pilots participated along with Canadian pilots in the Battle of Britain
That was exactly it
Exactly^
They weren't sent by the US
They were volunteers
The Allies were actual allies. They coordinated. They worked together. Not so with the Axis.
That is a false equivalency.
still US pilots, just ones that chose to come early
