Country:  | The part where the fighting was done was in Europe though. Although I agree most of it is in Asia.

If there was a continental plate running down the middle of Germany this would then make it two seperate Theaters? What about the MTO? There is no contiental plate defining that theater from the ETO.
The Allies recognized 3 theaters: ETO, MTO and PTO.
The Germans recognized 3 fronts: West, East, Med.
The Russians recognized one front: West (Germany's East)
The Japanese were too confused to really recognize specific fronts, but they clearly had a China front, an IndoChina Front (Korea, Burma, Philapines), a Pacific Front (perhaps divided into 2 regions), and an Australian Front.
Generally I see 5 real fronts: ETO, MTO, Russian, PTO, China/Asia

Country: | Yes Russia is in Eurasia because most of it is in Asia however the farthest part that Germany pushed into was the still in the European part and therefore it is the European theatre.

They also had some major problems - No heat in the cocpit at -50deg, the AAF cruise setting didn't keep the oil fluid/incorrectly formulated fuel caused engines to die and a very criticle lack of training hurt it's performance when escorting though they got the job done droping the bomber loss rate to the 4/5% range that it remained the rest of the war. The L model cleared all of the problems.
In late 44 and 45 they were attack aircraft too and kicked butt in both rols. | |
