To insinuate that Gemmany was on the run in 42 shows ignorance of history. The battle of Stalingrad was indeed
won by Russia, but only after Germany had utterly destroyed the city and everything leading up to it.

While they were eventually beat back, the German army uttlerly destroyed the russians and were by no means
on the run. It took 2 1/2 more years of fighting before the Allied forces could land at D-Day. Germany was no easy
foe duering that time, and had the United States not entered the war, Germany would most likely had beat the
Russians in the long-run.

>>>Agreed. Look at the stats on men and material involved. Plus the majority of the elite Nazi divisions where destroyed on the eastern front.
