How do I know what the main theater is?

That's where most of the people fighting are.

That's the main front main theater.

Russians fought between two-thirds and three-quarters of the Nazi army always.

That makes the Eastern Front the main theater.

So you all think, Pearl, that you all think that the Normandy invasion was a big deal.

No, that is a peripheral operation.

It is peripheral to the main theater.

And if the Russians hadn't been doing bagration, this big operation that coincides with Normandy, no way would we ever have gotten on to the continent.

And that's in 1944.

So cutting Lend-Lease Aid, insane.

But you're eliminating the problem of fascism until people have forgotten what fascism meant.

But you're left with the problem of communism.

We couldn't get it in.

It's because if you want to deliver Lend-Lease A, this was a problem in World War I.

It's why did Russia fall in World War I?

Why would you ever let that happen?

There's no way to get the aid in because Russia hadn't built its Murmansk Railway, which goes way up north, and it hasn't completed the Trans-Siberian Railway.

It doesn't do those things until Murmansk is early into 1917 and the Trans-Siberians in 1916.

That's like right before the Tsar falls.
