And the point is that a non-diverce Germany kicked the shit out of all of Europe. Without the US intervention, Germany probably wouldn't have lost.
You're saying Hitler (one of the worst tacticians in history) could've accomplished what Napoleon failed to do?
If the U.S. hadn't jumped in? Maybe. If we hadn't jumped in and he hadn't pissed off Russia? Definitely.

There's more than a few maybes in there.

I got historical fact that no one, including one of the scholar-acknowledged great generals in Western history, has successfully invaded & subdued the entirety of modern Russia.

Had Hitler listened to Rommell, U.S. intervention or not, things would have turned out differently.
