Originally posted by gunnut View PostThis brings up another question. How did the western allies supply their troops on the western front? There must be 2 million men between the US, UK, Canada, France, and others, from Rome to Bavaria to Antwerp. Western troops were more "spoiled" and they had to have their smokes and candy bars so that would add to the 3 lb per person allowance. How were these men supplied?

other options from the South include direct support of Iraq/Iran from Turkey,a direct ground border with the Soviet Union from Turkey and using Turkey as a new Great Britain/China super sized airbase to reach deep into the USSR.

No one said supplying the Allied Armies was easy, but as others have pointed out, they have got trucks, ships and heavy transport aircrafts like no other. Allied engineering capability was also far greater than the Red Army's and IIRC successfully repaired the railroads and bridges in France for military purposes.All those who are merciful with the cruel will come to be cruel to the merciful.
-Talmud Kohelet Rabbah, 7:16.
