George Orwell's Prelude on Politics Is The Mind Killer

I have found this most wonderful (if fairly lengthy) article, and thought you would enjoy having it brought to your attention.

It is so good, I think we should include it among the references in the "Politics is the Mind Killer" wiki page. But, before that, I submit it to you, and ask you: is there anything in this article that would warrant its exclusion from this site? I mean, besides the fact that it is about politics, and written by a notorious Social-democrat (And is that in itself grounds for exclusion?).

Depends on what you mean by "contributed most". One reason for the high casualty rate from the USSR is their leaders' we have reserves attitude.

Considering how long and how much it took to defeat the Nazis, it's at least plausible that all three were necessary, or it would have taken much longer.

"Contributed" seems ambiguous. Are we talking about who took the most damage or who did the most damage?

The Battle for Stalingrad, which is the beginning of the defeat of the Nazis, starts in Nov. 1942. What are the Western Allies doing then? Invading North Africa, which I think was fairly irrelevant to the outcome of the war. Wikipedia says that 80% of German military casualties were on the Eastern Front. My impression from reading When Titans Clash is that the USSR could have won WWII without D-Day. Obviously, it would have taken much longer (and ended up with Soviet puppets all the way to the Atlantic Ocean).
