The US for Fighting on both Fronts with more fire and man power than anyone else.

Ummmm, this is possibly the mother of all pointless rhetorical questions. Especially without a poll....

Nevertheless, my answer is Hitler.

Second choice: Oppenheimer

Everyone knows it would've been a lopsided defeat without the support of the Canadian military.

Objectively, I think the US had the most influence. The USSR did play an extremely signifigant roll, but only in the European Theater, and only with the material support of the US.

Definitely not France! Russian did lose 15 million men and pushed back the Germans, so I'd have to say them. But really, if Germany didn't have a two-front war, I'd be speaking to you in German right now ;)

America, we supplied the Russian tanks which allowed them to aid us, and you're ignoring the pacific which we pretty much did on our own. We also help the Brits take Africa and knock out Italy.

2/3 Axis Powers ain't bad.

100% agree... we're extremely lucky he pissed off Russia. It wasn't so much that Russia helped us by fighting with us, but they helped by not fighting AGAINST us. Let me know if that made sense :p

Now if you were looking at who was the most damaging influence on the Allies side, aside from France would be General Montgommery

Keep the flames burnin! :D

I think it was France who had the most influence. They gave the Germans a false sense of security by letting the Nazis overrun their country. ;)

And fighter aircraft and medical supplies and Stalin tried like hell to stop the Russian People from finding it out. He had the medical and food supplies relabled....

Stalin did not support the US against Japan and even took American Airmen hostage for making emergency landings at Russian airfields. Stalin had no navy, no long range bombers and had no interest in helping the Allies. Everything he did was selfish and selfserving.

Hitler had the most influence as without him there would have been no war.

As far as the country that influenced the outcome.....The United States of America without question...

Gotta be the Germans. They opened another front, while they were fighting in to other areas, and that other front was Russia in the winter. Should've learned from Napoleon that it's a bad idea.

i believe it was because of some stupid strategic moves made b hitler...i guess it was inevitable that a guy who is screwed up in the head had to screw up. even if hitler did win the war, i dont think he could have retained control for any longer.

The Greeks. Well maybe not.

But their surprise stubborness against the invading Italians supposedly caused the Nazis to delay their attack on Russia for a couple of weeks so they could go down and help out their allies.
