I guess I need to go back and read some more history.

1. Americans trading tech for fighting prowess.
We would need some proof on that statement. A two front war would weaken German quickly resource wise as we have witnessed.
2. Amerians afraid to fight strong Wehrmacht.
Again, need proof. I do not see this as a valid statement.
3. US Army waiting for the Red Army to take out Germans.
Not so, Soviets started with the cold shoulder starting with Dolittles using Soviet bases for his bombing mission over Germany. There was much political maneuvering at the time.
4. 8th Airforce killing women and children.
Perhaps but not intentional. Our precision bombing raids were not that precise. Not to mention the factories were inside the city limits. There are going to be casualties.
