History thread [split] from "New Rule - Promoting Terrorism"

[Anomalocaris]

Actually, the industrial base of Germany and occupied Europe was entirely sufficient to overwhelm the USSR and Britain.

But then they declared war on us.... and failed to stop the Russians from relocating major defense factories to the Urals..and failed to cut Britain off from its empire.

Mistake after mistake after mistake.

The irony is the western democracies almost matched the USSR in the ruthlessness with which all national resources were promptly mobilized for war. Hitler’s Germany didn’t ever come close, and the furthest it managed to get didn’t come until the 5th year of the war and all hope for anything other than total defeat has been lost.
