[QUOTE="js1234, post: 1321936, member: 17596"] In terms of PERCENT of population, the contribution was almost the same for the US and Canada when talking about fighting men. Canada and the rest of the British Empire at the time made enormous contributions to staving of Germany and turning the tide. There is no doubt that the might of a huge, fresh and well equipped US military was the knockout blow that ensured the war in Europe was certain to be won and years sooner than if the slow bleed kept pace that occurred after the UK won the battle of Britain making certain that Operation Sealion would not take place. The most staggering contribution most likely when considering the US really is the industrial output that allowed the allies to fight the war. As an example, the vast majority of the German Military was actually on the Eastern Front fighting the Russians. Lend Lease from the US though equipped the Russians who accounted for 80% of all the casualties inflicted on Germany in the war. To learn the history of the enormous undertakings of US industry and the fashion in which it was handled and the timeline that saw projects completed truly boggles the mind. [/QUOTE]
