Points 1 and 2. Quite correct -- the Russian army had rolled back the German advance from Stalingrad. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Germans lost more soldiers on the Eastern front htan on the West and those on the Eastern front considered the Western front to be a cakewalk.

Stalin pushed back the Nazis BUT he did do it with American monetary and military aid.

You´re right, i almost forgot all the the armor and ammunition the sowjets received from Britain and the US. The Nazis didn´t loose the war at Stalingrad. This is only a myth. They lost the war against the Sowjets when Hitler postponed Wehrmacht´s Operation Zitadelle which gave the Russians time to prepare a defensive line against this huge attack. As far as i know over 3 Million german soldiers where involved in this operation. Thank God Hitler was a lunatic who decided to wait for a handful of soldiers before he decided to attack. A successful Operation Zitadelle would have prolonged WWII and we would have suffered from a nuclear strike. Sorry if i´m again offtopic.
