[lbo-talk] How close was it?

[andie nachgeborenen]

Yeah, it was closer than we might like to think. If
Hitler had taken Moscow _or_ Leningrad in the winter
of 42-43, if the drive for the Caucauses had
succeeded, if Hitler hadn't spread himself so thin
over a 100 mile front. . . . Of course, the US would
still have had the bomb on most versions of this
story, and the Germans wouldn't, so WWII might have
ended with the atom bombing of Berlin and Munich. jks
