    I am fully aware america didn't change the course of the war but that doesn't mean they contributed nothing.

    I'm sure opening up another huge front in the west for germany didn't accomplish or contribute anything. It's not like the soviets were constantly asking for someone to oopen up a second front or anything. Surely destroying the german air force and keeping them occupied by having to fend off bombers did nothing. Or supplying allied countries with fuel and trucks and tons of other shit. nope nothing.

      They didn't open the Western front when it actually mattered to the eastern front, they only showed up in n Europe after it was clear the red army would march to the Atlantic

        do you know what planning is? Also America literally suggested doing earlier landings and britain shot it down. they decided on invading africa first to actually learn how to do an invasion. not everything was an anti soviet decision.

          Yeah planning while they watched the Atlantic wall being built, they were certainly doing a lot of planning when they refused to ally with the USSR against Germany before the war too, and during the Phoney War, that must have taken a lot of planning as well.

            Its so refreshing to see actual ww2 history being repeated in left spaces instead of this braindead cia rot that has US embassies declaring they were the ones to liberate camps instead of the Soviets

      You're right, they contributed massive amounts of investment and resources to the Nazi regime and imperial Japan before entering the war to make sure the Soviets didn't keep going all the way to the Atlantic.

        Why did America and Britain give the USSR supplies until the end of the war?

          By the end of the war, something like 1/3 of the USSR's trucks were from lend-lease. If the USA were more troubled by the existence of the USSR than nazi-occupied Europe, they wouldn't have sent the soviets anything.
