about two thirds of the German army and air force were consumed on the eastern front. In fact, the Russian land and air forces were so strong at the end of the war that the allies feared they might not stop at Berlin and proceed to take over all of Europe. IIRC there was even a contingency plan drawn up that would have seen a retreat to England and eventual relaunching of a counter invasion from there and N Africa.

Of course the draft dodger wouldn't know, or care, about any of that. I wonder what Trump would have done if he had been born 15 or 20 years earlier (were bone spurs a thing in those days?).
