Pray tell what leap of logic leads you to the
assumption that the USA armed Hitler.

Was the Panzer Mk III built in Detroit ?

Did the Flak-88 originate in Pittburg ?

Are you brain dead ?

Just where did the US send lend lease to Germany ? Care to point me to
some documentation ?


Otherwise, lay off the boose dude.

Hamburg, Germany, a favorite stopover port of US merchant mariners taking
ships loaded with Lend-Lease war material for the USSR to Murmansk.

While there, they could warm up, buy extra cold weather gear, and have a
few brauts and beer provided by friendly merchants of the city, before
continuing northward on their war supply missions.

After the war, the US refused to take "no" for an answer from Stalin, in
regards to Marshall Plan reconstruction aid, and instead *forced* military
supplies into Russian ports against the will of the government, with the
hope that a Cold War would rage for the next century, making Europe dependent
on US largess.

The plan almost worked! If only the Cold War could have lasted a few more
decades. We could have been the masters of Europe!

The Marshall Plan was for the civil reconstruction of West Germany. Stalin was
already considered an enemy by that time, why on Earth would the United States
"force" military supplies on the Soviets other than a few items already agreed
upon during the war?

Hmmm, "park". You know Dan, that reminds me.

Were you aware of the "Parkas for Oil" component of Lend-Lease?

It allowed the US to provide oil to Nazi Germany in exchange for parkas for
the Murmansk run.

Now this extremely important component of the war effort was responsible for...

Hey, found one! But this is really the last! ;^)
