UGHHHH yeah Americans are the main winners here. They killed Nazi Army with food and water guns. Seriously, nobody is denying the assistance they gave. But who really fought the war.

The Soviet Soldiers had little choice but to push ahead and fight the Germans, their officers kept machine guns pointed at them. If the Soviet Soldiers didn't keep up their attacks on the Germans, they risked being shot by their own officers.
Do you know why fewer US soldiers died? Because they were free men with rights, equal to those of their commanders. As such, they were treated and cared for as well as possible, properly fed, properly armed, and used with care.
Do you know why so many Soviet Soldiers died? Because they were peasants, expendable fodder considered less valuable than the weapons they carried. Many of them starved because they weren't properly fed, or died of disease because they weren't properly treated, or were killed in combat because they had no weapons to fight with. In big infantry assaults there were large numbers of unarmed Soviet Soldiers, as there were not enough guns to go around. And for those few guns, there were even less bullets. These unarmed soldiers had no choice but to attack, if they didn't they would be killed by their own commanders.

You really think this many Soviets would have died if they fought in the western front? Not much. The point is to tell you that the Soviets were unto a greater attack, much greater. And this was the main reason so many Soviets died, Germany defeated them all the way to Stalingrad. The same amount of deaths would have been caused unless you're saying all of Soviets to go retreat to Stalingrad since the start!!! It doesn't work like that, you have to protect all of your land.
Also I'm noticing this in general, all these guys being in America side argue about how negative Soviets were. But seriously, who cares? The main topic isn't to judge countries but to state the facts about who played a larger factor. you equal American assisting with food the same as Soviets fighting with guns. Don't be ridiculous and accept it.
