The argument against your point , though , is that Japan and Italy were nothing without Germany , so the defeat of Germany was the real end of the war . Then , the argument goes on , Germany marshaled about 100 battalions men , tanks , planes against Russia for every 10 battalions against the USUK . So it ' s sort of like Russia was fighting Superman and the USUK were fighting Clark fumbling with his glasses Kent . Since Russia kept Germany engaged , avoided a major loss like a loss of Russia ' s oil resources to Germany which would have supercharged Germany and ruined Russia , and ultimately prevailed over Germany , Russia is the greater hero in the war . Now , if the US or UK had sent forces to assist Russia ' s military , then it might be argued that we enabled Russia ' s success , but US and UK did not provide such help , even after Russia begged us to do so . It might also be argued that the US could have used the atom bomb against Germany and won , but again that is not what happened . And our inaction while Russians were killed in the 100 s of thousands , at a far greater rate than US and UK casualties , kinda looks bad for US and UK , because there was a serious risk that Germany might have defeated Russia .
