Well, it wasn't exactly the Americans who liberated France and Germany, as
they entered the war on European soil in 1944, one year before the 2nd world
war ended. The same, by the way in the 1st world war, when America entered in
1917, again, a year before the war ended. Of course, the Canadian/American
efforts did contribute to the final outcome.

Nazi Germany was almost brought to its knees in 1944 owing to the relentless
Russian offensives. Nazi Germany would sooner or later have collapsed through
the sheer devastation of these offenses.

Best,

Theo
