I have been pondering this question for some time, and we have gone back-and-forth on this board an uncountable number of times about it. Could the Soviet Union have defeated Nazi Germany without the help of the Western Allies?
Imagine no supplies reading the Soviet Union via the Arctic convey routes or Iran. Imagine no bombing raids against Germany by the Western Allies? Imagine no Italian Front and no cross-Channel invasion. If none of these things had happened, would the flag of the Red Army still be lifted above Berlin at some point?
POD could be anything. Perhaps a Halifax government government makes peace with Germany in 1940. Whatever- it doesn't matter. I'm just curious about the question.
Discuss!
