the war (against Germany) was won in early 1943 after Stalingrad, the rest was grinding it out to that conclusion. the US invaded to prevent Soviet occupation of all of Europe in the wake of Germany's defeat
the funny part is that the US army understands this perfectly well
Ironically british material aid, despite overall of much lesser quantity, was more of a help. Because it arrived when the soviets needed it most.
Like Gandalf, they arrive precisely when they intend to.
