No they wouldnt. Brief points because I dont have the time. Without a western front the Nazi's were already at the steps of Moscow. Without the Lend Lease act the Soviets would have no means/equipment/fuel/trains/etc.. to fight.

It is amazing the amount of material the US gave the Russians in WWII. I had a friend that worked on the supply line thru Iran? i think. He said it was 24/7, everyday he was there.. trucks loaded to the hilt.

That's a different question. Without U.S./U.K. support, the Soviets might very well have starved and had no equipment with which to fight until they got their production shifted to the Urals. I don't dispute that.

Not really. By April '44, (months before Overlord), they were well into Poland and about to re-enter the Baltics. Moscow and Stalingrad were long won by the Soviets and there were no German replacements for the casualties. The German army never fully replaced the manpower lost in Barbarossa, particularly Stalingrad, and the Red Army was getting stronger by the hour from '43 on.
