Yeah, and what would happen to US if Russia fell? US and other allies would have been over run by german tanks. We can make if then statements all we want but history remains the same. We had the biggest affect on war, we killed most Germans, and we took Berlin. And you were taking your time in Africa, then Red Army was holding against Hitler alone for 2 years. You say winter helped as i say you right but it also did ill to us, our people who were worse equiped then Germans were freezingat the same rate, our oil was just as freezeble. I am not saying that Russia could have won the war alone, i am just saying that against Germans we did most of the work.

I can't disagree that the US would have lost if the USSR was crushed as the Axis Powers would have had a beeline into the US. That, however, is only true if the US had remained neutral.

As for "most of the work"... No. You have to take into consideration who made the arms. The US made the arms killing the Nazis, and the USSR service men wielded them. Stalin's mad rage would have doomed the Red Army had he not had fits of sanity -- requesting US aid and such.

The US did most of the work in WWII. The US conquered Western Europe, Northern Africa, and the Pacific. The Pacific Theater was done alone, too. It's true that the Red army was able to infiltrate Berlin less than a day quicker, but it was due to a concerted effort, not a lone one.
