Which WW2 battle was more instrumental in defeating Germany?

  • D-Day

  • Barbarossa

Both were giant nails in the coffin.

I think running out of resources in men and materiel to match Europe and America (i.e. biting off more than they could chew) was what did it.
 
I was taught at least in my WW2 history classes that El Alamein, Stalingrad, and Midway were the major turning points of WW2. I honestly can say I agree. El Alamein broke the Afrika Corps back, while Stalingrad did the same for the Eastern Army.

And Midway more or less destroyed Japan's ability to project their naval power allowing the US to go on the offensive.
 
Stalingrad was the turning point in the East.

Dday was the starting point for the West; the Bulge the final straw that broke Germany; they could not sustain the momentum of the initial attack that could have crippled the Allies in Europe.

The Bulge was a delaying tactic only but it ended any hopes of being able to standup and slug it out.
 
oh crap, i just realized this is a spam thread.

how was squall not banned? all his threads are posted in countless forums. he only ever starts a thread, never posting anything further, as a bot would.
 
Hitler overruling his generals was the turning point of the war.

The decision to pull troops away from Moscow and send them south (Kiev) probably cost them the war. Had they taken Moscow it would have crippled Russia.
 
I know!!!

IT'S THE BATTLE OF SPAM!!!

I was gonna write a FF8 parody of his thread, got bored mid way.. But his posts here seem oddly legit. Wonder if he's trying to get history homework help.

And what's up with the obsession over FF8 usernames.

Something seems kind of off though, he or it just linked to one of my youtube vids in the other thread about chicken. What kind of bot does that?
 
Its somewhat odd that we ask these questions now, when WW2 produced nuclear weapons, the idea of a giant set piece battle like WW2 is obsolete as the dodo today.

And now major industrialized countries only fight limited and equally stupid proxy wars to prove mankind has not learned a damn thing since the end of WW2. As we pick on just small countries instead, and still prove how inept and stupid war is.

As a human, it makes me so proud of human progress that I could puke.

It could be a lolz thing.

Or it could be a 'hacker' writing some script that makes multiple posts in different forums.
It might all be some kind of science experiment or something.

one with lots of human guidance I guess, more like a script, or some dumbass copy paster, in any case he should be removed.

Name one reason why you deserve to be here any longer than me? And don't try to use an elitist answer like "because I have a higher post count and that makes me automatically better"
 
It's like SL somehow detects when it's reputation is in question on specific spammed forums and encourages the human behind it to "intervene" until the suspicion dies down a bit, then it's back to spam mode.

...either that, or this is "Skynet."

Has Watson leaked onto the Internet?

I'm an administrator of several forums, and I know a spambot when I see one. Spambots don't make 100+ normal posts over the course of three months.
