    By the way XX, would you have charged a tank on horseback? It is brave, but, unfortunately, a losing proposition.

    Singapore was a strategic defeat. Britain concentrated on the African and European fronts.

    They only managed to not lose.

    Torch had the hand of the Americans, just like the invasion of Sicily and South Italy or Normandy. This without mentioning all the convoys that were sent across the Atlantic to relieve them.

    Britain fought the entire war whilst the USSR was allied with Germany invading Poland and later initially defeated due to Stalin's purges. The USSR can't then be seen as above the USA or Britain.

    Red Army only had manpower and unlimited 'murican supplies, sorry to say. But they had a badass anthem to keep them morally good, I give you that.

    Victim count says the opposite.
    Not to mention that the Soviets did manage to mount a proper counteroffensive, unlike the sheer incapacity of the British.

    I think a good armed force besides the Wehrmacht was the British Army. I don't know too much about it, but Finns also fought very well in the Winter War.
    Armies who were lacking modern equipment and/or military training but who fought bravely were probably countries like Greece or Poland.
    Russians were also very hardy fighters, but their leadership and tactics was terrible for a great part of the war.
    But apart from that: The German Wehrmacht with it's excellent officer corps (just to mention Auftragstaktik) and tactics (Blitzkrieg) together with well trained and able soldiers and good equipment have no rival.

    lol.

    Slavs cheerleading the USSR as if they did anything impressive. "Quantity has a quality of its own" - Joseph Stalin

    All they had was an endless supply of free American weapons and expendable Russian men. And even that wasn't enough to beat tiny Finland. About as embarrassing as Italy needing bailing out to beat Greece.

    ^^ Just a quick thing, the American supplies were mostly related to food and vehicles, not weapons.
