Just because they weren't shooting at each other doesn't mean they were allies. It just means they weren't enemies.

2021-01-29 00:37:07 UTC  

no, that was Stalingrad, which was an entirely different can of beans

2021-01-29 00:37:18 UTC  

oh yeah my bad

2021-01-29 00:37:26 UTC  

still a stupid choice though

2021-01-29 00:37:40 UTC  

Financial and resource support.

2021-01-29 00:37:44 UTC  

Hitler ordered the 6th army south to take the southern oil fields he knew they needed to be able to maintain their Panzer Divisions

2021-01-29 00:37:44 UTC  

and Normandy was a complete flop

2021-01-29 00:38:13 UTC  

that was more due to the ingenious plan to fool the germans into thinking that they were landing in calais

2021-01-29 00:38:30 UTC  

So, technically, then the US was always fighting in WWII right from the start, Bourbon.

2021-01-29 00:38:39 UTC  

yeah the inflatable armies and stuff played a part in that right?

2021-01-29 00:38:42 UTC  

If that's what you consider an ally.

2021-01-29 00:38:45 UTC  

No because they were selling to both sides.

2021-01-29 00:38:49 UTC  

Not one side

2021-01-29 00:39:03 UTC  

no they were only sending supplies. not troops

2021-01-29 00:39:13 UTC  

Oh fr?

2021-01-29 00:39:19 UTC  

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

2021-01-29 00:39:20 UTC  

And there was no troop support

2021-01-29 00:39:46 UTC  

American Pilots participated along with Canadian pilots in the Battle of Britain

2021-01-29 00:39:53 UTC  

That was exactly it

2021-01-29 00:39:56 UTC  

Exactly^

2021-01-29 00:40:23 UTC  

They weren't sent by the US

2021-01-29 00:40:31 UTC  

They were volunteers

2021-01-29 00:40:33 UTC  

The Allies were actual allies. They coordinated. They worked together. Not so with the Axis.

2021-01-29 00:40:39 UTC  

That is a false equivalency.

2021-01-29 00:40:55 UTC  

still US pilots, just ones that chose to come early

2021-01-29 00:41:06 UTC  

Not sent by the government

2021-01-29 00:41:13 UTC  

That's the most important part

2021-01-29 00:41:31 UTC  

There were also a lot more Americans who joined the Wehrmacht

2021-01-29 00:41:36 UTC  

the US military never officially declared any kind of war or strategy until Pearl Harbor

2021-01-29 00:41:52 UTC  

"The war was won by American Steel, British Brains, and Russian blood"

2021-01-29 00:42:01 UTC  

About twice as many as the ones who joined the battle of Britain.

2021-01-29 00:42:12 UTC  

they didnt have a justifiable reason to

2021-01-29 00:42:34 UTC  

exactly, plus the depression was hitting hard still

2021-01-29 00:42:34 UTC  

So by your logic then the US was Axis because their people joined on their own.

2021-01-29 00:42:51 UTC  

those were primarily german immigrants who didnt exactly feel welcome following discrimination against Germans following ww1

2021-01-29 00:43:13 UTC  

Mhm

2021-01-29 00:43:17 UTC  

Still Americans

2021-01-29 00:43:33 UTC  

nobody wanted to go to war until it was an attack on America personally

2021-01-29 00:43:36 UTC  

Most white Americans come from German immigrants.

2021-01-29 00:43:56 UTC  

Or Irish
