That's very true. Stalin was pressuring us to get involved for the longest time. It didn't matter to him if we went into Europe of Africa he just wanted some pressure taken off his army.
The Germans overran Europe in about 9 months with roughly 50 divisions. At that time we were maybe able to field 3 or 4 divisions tops. And poorly trained at that. You need to remember we were just coming out of the depression.

Roosevelt made some bad decisions. the biggest was, in my opinion, keeping Fredendall in command. That guy was an idiot.
He also kept Patton in Cassablanca waiting for a rear attack that never came. He should have put Fredendall in Casablanca and Patton in Algeria. We would have kicked ass then. But Patton was only a junior officer then.
Maybe if Eisenhower had been a little closer to the fighting than Gibralter?
