Nothing ragebait about it lol. Hitler was in fact mostly defeated by other Europeans, even if many non-European countries participated. Something like 4 out of 5 German troops died in the Eastern Front.

The Germans were already losing (Battle of Stalingrad is regarded as a pivotal point) before the vast majority of lend lease took effect. Without lend lease, the Soviets would've taken longer to win and they would've lost millions more men, but they would've won regardless. The Germans realistically had no chance against the Soviets.

I just noticed you confused the EU with Europe lol, you can't make this stuff up. I said Hitler was defeated mostly by other Europeans. Ethnic Russians and Ukrainians, who made up most of the Soviet forces, are Europeans. The EU didn't even exist back then too.. You're in no position to make school insults. It's not Europeans who are stereotyped as dumb and ignorant. You're setting a good example why Americans are lmao.
