    The Soviet Union did not win WW2.  The allies won WW2.  The war would not have been won had Russia not defeated German forces which invaded Russia.  Russian forces would not have defeated German forces in Russia without materials sent by the United States.    5 million rifles, 100,000 artillery guns, 13,000 tanks 400,000 trucks, 14,000 aircraft, 8,000 tractors, 2,000 train locomotives, 80,000 rail cars, 10,000 miles of track, 3 million tons of gasoline, 5 million tons of food, 15 million pairs of boots, 1.5 million wool blankets, complete factories and millions of tons of all types of metal.   .  Henry Ford made a personal gift of a huge factory to make tires.

    Yes but would have Taken a Bit Longer

    But the UK would have beaten the Nazis in 1942 if the USA had Not supplied the Nazis everything they Needed here is the Proof that even FDR supported the Nazis

    Hitler was funded By the Rockefeller's in the Belief Hitler would Go to war with the Communists he took the Money and Honored the Agreementthe USA never did anything to stop him whilst the UK was Trying AppeasementHitler took all this as approval and of he wentAmerica with the collusion of the vice-chairman of the U.S. War Production Board in partnership with Göring's cousin in Philadelphia when American forces were desperately short of everything and such arrangements were known about in Washington and either sanctioned or deliberately ignored?For the government did sanction dubious transactions—both before and after Pearl Harbor. A presidential edict, issued six days after December 7, 1941, actually set up the legislation whereby licensing arrangements for trading with the enemy could officially be granted.Often during the years after Pearl Harbor the government permitted such trading. For example, ITT was allowed to continue its relations with the Axis and Japan until 1945, even though that conglomerate was regarded as an official instrument of United States Intelligence.No attempt was made to prevent Ford from retaining its interests for the Germans in Occupied France, nor were the Chase Bank or the Morgan Bank expressly forbidden to keep open their branches in Occupied Paris. It is indicated that the Reichsbank and Nazi Ministry of Economics made promises to certain U.S. corporate leaders that their properties would not be injured after the Führer was victorious.Thus, the bosses of the multinationals as we know them today had a six-spot on every side of the dice cube. Whichever side won the war, the powers that really ran nations would not be adversely affected.And it is important to consider the size of American investments in Nazi Germany at the time of Pearl Harbor. These amounted to an estimated total of $475 million. Standard Oil of New Jersey had $120 million invested there; General Motors had $35 million; ITT had $30 million; and Ford had $17.5 million. Though it would have been more patriotic to have allowed Nazi Germany to confiscate these companies for the duration—to nationalize them or to absorb them into Hermann Göring's industrial empire—it was clearly more practical to insure them protection from seizure by allowing them to remain in special holding companies, the money accumulating until war's end. It is interesting that whereas there is no evidence of any serious attempt by Roosevelt to impeach the guilty in the United States,reason FDR was afraid of Upsetting Corporate USA whose Cooperation was desperately needed to win the War in the Pacific

    Hard to say Hitler surely could have taken half the USSR would that have sufficed him?  logistics most likely would have stopped him dead at that point .

    What's not hard to say is that the war ended when it did because of the US .

    Yes, absolutely

    There was NO WAY Hitler could have won against the Soviet Union. NO WAY. The Soviets were well prepared "winter warfare" and the Germans were not. Look at Napoleon, he took managed to seize a considerable amount of Europe but lost when it came to the Russian Empire for the same reason. How much help did Russian get from the US or anyone else for that matter when it came to fighting against the French? Exactly, none!.

    That the war would have taken longer, yes, that Hitler would have won an occupied the Soviet Union, no way!

    Not likely........they were holding their own front,.......but not doing much elsewhere. 

    The US was all over the damn globe.....covering the Pacific, the Atlantic,  Europe and Japan, at the same time.

    Yes.

    The haste of the Germans to invade led them to get bogged down without proper winter gear.

    It would have taken longer, it would have made a lot more victims, but ultimately Germany just could not win.

    No.   Germany was fighting on two fronts and the RAF and USAAF was bombing them from the air day and night.    Russia could only hold on the front from Jun 41 to Jun 44 when the Allies pushed in from D-Day.   Germany was also developing better weapons and would have turned them all on the Russians.   Keep in mind the ONLY Axis power Russia was fighting was the Germans.  It did not declare war on Japan until after the USA nuked them the first time.   It never fought Italy.   Had it not been for the other allies it would have lost most of the nation to the Germans and the east to the Japanese.

    --  Yes, it would have, but it would have taken much longer for the Soviet Union to rebuild and survive before being able to retaliate against the Germans.  The material aid that the US supplied gave the Soviet Union the ability to recover.

    --  The three pronged attack on Germany -- the Soviet Union from the East, the Allies from the South through Italy and the allied attacks from the West through France, was the reason for the quick end to WW-2.

    --  US material to Britain and the Soviet Union were crucial, but the US combat actions were minimal in the outcome.
