The only reason the Russians were able to turn back the Germans was their winter. If Russia didn't have such a harsh winter the Germans would of steam rolled over them like they did the months before Winter. We (Americans) sent massive amounts of supplies to Russia to help them continue their offensive. Without it they probably still would of been able to stop the Germans (with the help of their winter of course) but, not continue to advance to Germany it self and ultimately Berlin. On the other hand without the Russians to tie up millions of troops on the eastern front Hitler would have been able to fortify the French coast into a impregnable fortress even more so then it already was. So it was a mix of all allies that helped to put an end to the Nazi regime.

Also Fishman we are not taught in America that we won the war alone. To say so would be ignorant. But, you can't deny the great contributions that we made in terms of supplies before we even officially entered the war. It is the same thing as with the Brits. It's not that they didn't have the skill or courage to fight the Nazi's , because they had plenty of that. But, without fuel and food Britain would of eventually been either starved to death or been invaded because they didn't have the fuel necessary to stop the Nazi war machine. But, without them fighting and holding off the Germans their never would of been a D-day at least not the same one we know today. So who knows what would of happened if we didn't all do our part to stop such a evil regime.
