In pursuit of victory, allies also made bad moves. It was a war between evil and lesser evil. Less of victory for mortality as we tend to assume. Allies made terrible compromises to defeat fanatical enemies. Won only by turning against ones their own in human methods. Achivement of soviet manpower and american capital to help defeat german. Americans were hopeleslly decadent racially mongrel people. German declared war in us in solidatiryt with japan. The united states was more than a match for the totalitarian states. Free market mutated into utlimte command economy as it fused with the pentagon. Did more than equip themselves, they also sent massive supplies to stalin"s soviet union. Koursk demonstrated the germany could not win the war. Never surrender, fight until the end (fear of dishonor) The us treated japanese worse than an animal. Pointless to surrender and fight to the death (okinawa rationale) Adopted core ideas of the enemies they were fighting.
