True, but if one is heavy on people and low on weapons, a few human wave attacks can net more weapons.
Fuck the Nazis. I never trust liars.
The whole concept of unconditional surrender had a strong political undercurrent. I think Churchill, Stalin, and FDR decided to play for all the marbles and completely remake the German and Japanese nations into societies that would no longer pose a belligerent militaristic threat to neighboring countries.
Nazi Germany could never have defeated the USSR in the long run, but allied assistance to USSR undoutedly made them more able to effectively counter the Nazis.
USA and UK could never have invaded fortress Europe in 1944 without four million Germans tied down trying to thwart the Red Army advance on Germany.
It was a team effort.
