Mastermind of world war 2 implies the person won the war.

[RavVid]

Master mind in what way? Master minded it beginning or master minded winning it? I think it is hard to say he behind the defeat of Germany

I would say he was the master mind in keeping Britain in the fight. If he had not, D Day would not have been possible. If no D Day than maybe the 3rd Reich would be still in place and German resources could have been devoted to Russia.

I think you can only he was important to Britain staying in and that was important to winning the war.

Wrong on almost every level lol.

If there was a mastermind on the Allies side, I would say it was not a person but a place, Bletchley Park. https://codenames.info/operation/ultra/

[ChefPapiChulo]

What?

[RebelinSteel]

Do you know about Ultra?

[laly520]

I would pick general Rommel

he smashed the allies line on numerous occasions

[ChefPapiChulo]

Not sure if you know, but the Nazis lost.

[laly520]

I know they lost
im just talking about some of things he has done

[ChefPapiChulo]

He was also a field marshal, not a general.

[laly520]

he was also a general
u can check it up
6 feb 1941 he became a general

[ChefPapiChulo]

Okay, he was a lieutenant at one point too, are we going to start calling him that as well?

[laly520]

being a general is a very important title he even was called the most popular general back home thus even gained some respect from his enemies
which is different case for being just a lieutenant therefore he wasn't well known for it

[ChefPapiChulo]

He was a field marshal. It’s more appropriate to call him that instead of general.

[QuietRunner]

No more than Roosevelt was

[ChefPapiChulo]

US joined towards the end of the war. They had impact, but the British were there from the start.

[QuietRunner]

You mean like joined in 1945?

[QuietRunner]

@chefpapichulo
What years do you consider the beginning and the end?

[ChefPapiChulo]

Bro what are you on about?

[QuietRunner]

@chefpapichulo
What are you on about?

[ChefPapiChulo]

Get out of here with your nonsense man.

[QuietRunner]

Well if you date WW2 to 1939 - 1945
Then the United States was involved for then the United States was involved for 50%

If you date by days, then the 2194 total war days stated by General MacArthur, then the United States was involved for 62% of WW2.

If you included the Lend Lease Act dates, that brings the United States WW2 involvement to 74% of total wartime days.

It doesn't seem like the United States joined at the end.

[ChefPapiChulo]

So maybe there seems to be a lack of understanding. The US didn't invade Europe until 1944. That was towards the end of the war in Europe. Japan and the Axis basically all did their own thing, so the US fighting Japan didn't directly. Although, the US was in Africa fighting Nazis there in 1943.

What does this have to do with anything?
