Right, because essentially(and I should have said this) that even though not a single German division fought in the Pacific and vice versa, the fact that the Allies had to plan around both theaters is why it is all called one war, one because they happened at the same time, and two, the hostile powers were all allied with each other.
Don't think that Italy made WWII a three way war, as soon as they surrendered to the Allies they immediately declared war on Germany. Partially because the Italians realized that it was not fun have a fascist who thought he could rebuild the Roman Empire..and couldn't do it, even with a bigger one in Germany.
And one thing that shortened the war(why German could not possibly even hope to reach Antwerp) is because the 9th Air Force flattened the Ploesti oil fields. In fact, when the Red Army go there, they said there was nothing left of the place, it had been bombed so much.
Course, there were the German subs in the Pacific....... :twisted:
