The Germans never had a chance...and the German army (as well as Hitler) well knew this. That being said the American-made half ton truck probably helped the Soviet cause as much as their own ground soldiers.

Oh wow...
Russia's part in WWII was extremely downplayed by U.S. propaganda during the Cold War. 80% of Germany's military deaths were on the Eastern Front.

Where was the Soviet Army on June 6th 1944?
At the Polish border.
Without lend lease from the USA, the Soviets would have lost in 1942.
