Without Uncle Sam’s Lend-Lease, they certainly would have lost. The Red Army arrived in Berlin on Dodge trucks.

The Russians won because of the weather, the Russian people, the T-34, moving their industry to the Urals, Zhukov, and the might of the once great American industrial complex via Lend Lease. Stalin was a blood-thirsty hindrance if anything.

There fixed it for you ;)

Amazingly, "total war" concept didn't develop in Germany until Summer of 44, and by then it was way too late.

In Jan 45, the Heer still had 650,000 horses and tack on its TO&E. It was still, mainly a horse-drawn Army in the last months of it's existance, whist the Russians, as you said, motored right into Berlin in Dodge's and Fords, American halftracks, etc.

Zhukov, in his memoirs, said the Russians did not like the American lend lease tanks. They did not start in the cold weather.

You are closer than you think to a deep insight: one study showed that ALL the heavy tanks used in the defense of Moscow were Brit, supplied by our ships, and 70% of all armor was Brit or American in that battle.
