Here is the best way to say it. WW2's allies were perfectly matched. The russians supplied most of the manpower and we supplied most of the support. It is silly to argue which side was more important. Neither side could have gotten it done alone. What cannot be argued is that by far the greatest amount of casualties were on the eastern front. It is the russian people who suffered and sacrificed most to bring the nazi's down.
It is debatable whether america would have had the stomach to engage in a war that would have cost us 5 to 10 million casualties at that point in our countries history. Please remember there was not 300 million of back then. There were far less than half that number, so these type of casualties would have been unthinkable for us.
