   They could well have won had they not attacked Russia. The British Army   
   was no match. For that matter, if the Russians hadn't bled the Germans   
   the Western Front may have held.

   The Japanese never had a chance. And if the Japanese hadn't attacked the   
   US, the US may never have put any troops in.   
      
      The German armor, planes and Wehrmacht were first rate.
