You r forgetting the German A bomb project. The war would've dragged on another couple of years. Not to mention the longer it lasted, the more 262s are built and perfected

I understood the question to imply the US would no t have gotten involved militarily, but would have sent supplies, weapons to the Allies.

If the US was completely out and a true neutral (which assumes no 12/7/41), then, no. The War would have ended in a stalemate in Europe (pretty much with the borders as set out in the book Fatherland).

Another thing to consider is the division of German forces. Troop placements in France and Italy to forestall American-British invasion/advancements as well as the considerable Luftwaffe presence throughout Europe could, for the most part, have been redirected to the easter front. Britain alone in the west would have lacked the capabilities to engage in any sort of significant offensive (with or without lend-lease). The article linked indicates that the Luftwaffe was primarily tied up in the west. The addition of the German air force alone to the eastern front would have been significant.
