Germany for all going all "Eff you" with all the gassin', starvin', rapin', and pillagin' they did in Operation Barbarossa after pretending to be Russia's friends.

Payback was a MF'er on that one.

Probably not, although it might have depended on the race for the A bomb. It is worth remembering that Britain stood alone for a while before Russia was invaded. But you are right that it wouldn't have been an unconditional surrender.

I recently read Andrew Roberts' Churchill biography. He focused on how Churchill and FDR bent over backwards to keep the USSR in the war.

Its also true that the Russians wouldn't have won the war without the US and UK. They had the men and the land but not the equipment or the money.

Its an interesting history question, for sure.

Yes. Atomic bombs would have been dropped in Europe.***
