Did Tom Hanks win ww2? Casualty figures

I don't know about your games, but using my AI mod both Germany and the USSR both get well over 200 divisions. Germany got over 300 last game, before running out of manpower (and winning). Sounds good to me.

One could argue that Germany did lose WWII because of Hitler... though his 'madness' didn't really set in until 1944 and afterwards, when the war was already lost.

The West (America in particular) has developed a bit of a superiority complex over the last century... stemming from the idealogy of "well look what happens when America stays out of war, and guess who has to save Europe when they do go to war". Western (American) views have to promote that they are the reason that WWII was won, and that any idea that the [evil] Soviets could have had any bearing is preposterous.

And as Bolt mentioned, it's the same on the other side of the fence... the Soviets barely acknowledge that the West had any effect on the war at all.
