Don't take it from me, from your own super general Zhukov:

"It is now said that the Allies never helped us . . . However, one cannot deny that the Americans gave us so much material, without which we could not have formed our reserves and could not have continued the war . . . we had no explosives and powder. There was none to equip rifle bullets. The Americans actually came to our assistance with powder and explosives. And how much sheet steel did they give us. We really could not have quickly put right our production of tanks if the Americans had not helped with steel. And today it seems as though we had all this ourselves in abundance."


The US and its allies were also weakening Germany on the second front and bombing the shit out of German war production factories. The USSR would have lost to Germany if not for the US.
