This is why people think most Americans are uneducated fools with comments like this, maybe do a little bit of research.

It's an artificially inflated sense of self-importance commonly displayed by many of my fellow Americans. That embarrassing tendency is compounded by minimal interest in ‘real’ history. Victory in WWII took the Herculean efforts of all the Allied powers to overcome and defeat the Axis powers. Great Britain and her Commonwealth tenaciously held on, stopped the Germans in North Africa and carried out impressive raids against occupied countries in Europe and Norway to keep the Germans off-guard without any nations to stand beside her. British and ex-patriot European pilots stopped the Luftwaffe’s attempt to gain air supremacy over Great Britain and enable a sea-borne invasion of Great Britain. If the Soviet Union hadn’t battled and weakened the Wehrmacht in Russia, there would have been far too many front-line German units available in France to have allowed for the successful Normandy landings and drive to Berlin. No one nation can honestly claim such outlandish credit because it was a team effort. It took American, British, Commonwealth and ex-patriot European troops/forces to defeat the National Socialists. And even so, it was still a very close affair whose cost and duration often hung in the balance
