RE: Soviet Army was much bigger than the Allied Army...
Posted by Tom Brennan on June 25, 2007 at 17:56:56:
The Red Army had a very powerful air force used mainly as tactical support for the ground forces. They had first rate attack bombers and excellent fighters.
German losses in the Battle of Britain were soon made good. The Luftwaffe was destroyed in Russia AND when it had to come up to fight improved American fighters escorting daylight bomber raids in 1944.
The Red Army was the best of the war. They were unequalled in operational doctrine and deep striking power. And the Russian soldier had an incredible capacity for hardship and very strong motivation. Had we fought them immediately after the fall of Germany they may very well have whipped us, in any event American losses would probably have been higher than those inflicted by the Germans.
