re: Would the Allies have won WWII without America getting involved?

Russia's lack of logistical sophistication and military leadership plus ethnic diversity would have made it near impossible to be successful marching into German territory. It would have ended in a stalemate.

I disagree. Kursk and Smolensky were well before the "Second Front" were even opened. Narva started right after Anzio. By the time the U.S. and British were drawing resources to France, Uncle Joe was within striking distance of Czechoslovakia and East Prussia - before Market-Garden, the Red Army was operating on German soil.

All Overlord did was shorten the war by 18 to 24 months. The allies won the European portion of the war at Stalingrad.
