The start is debatable but arround 39 is correct. He is mixing up Perl Harbor 1941 and above all USA was involved not to defeat Germany but to stop USSR invading whole of Western Europe. Just the same game as today. Nothing new! In fact the war was carried out by USSR and for obvious facts they had to share the victory with s.c. allies, but it never worked (Cold War). Just the same game as today. Nothing new! regards
