Pacific Historian
So the Japanese commitments and huge losses were irrelevant in Burma? Once Stalingrad fell Overlord wasn't relevant to the outcome of the war either by that logic.
That's despite the Germans being bled white in Normandy (German casualties averaged about 2,300 men per Division per month in Normandy compared with just under 1,000 in the East for the same period).
Just what does Stalingrad have to do with the Pacific War? Different circumstances, different type of war, different armies.
A better analogy would have been "Was it worth continuing offensive operations in Italy after Operation Dragoon".
