But then, I haven't read your history books. I only lived through it.

I lived through it too, only I am not basing my post on history books. For 10 years I served in the US NAvy in an Intelligence role, I was priveledged to SEE what happened and what was said by whom, via Secure Communications links. Yes the Allies tried to offer support, advice and warnings, but in the end the weight of the world litterlly was on only two mens heads. There was tremendous pressure all along the chain of command. Im not trying to minimize the roles of the allies, just remind people who actually had the responsibility is all.
