Without Lend-Lease Aid and eventual US intervention, they never could have defeated Germany.
Perhaps, but I believe the number is like for every 1 division on the Western front the Germans had roughly 9-10 in the East against the Soviets. Those two waged a total war against themselves in the midst of everything else that was going on in WW2.
Don't get me wrong. There is no telling what would have happened if German resources weren't stretched to the west and the south and the US wasn't helping the Soviets out, but the US better be glad the Nazis had such a significant percentage of their resources focused East as well.

Oh I agree the Western Allies benefited immensely from the Soviets. It was a mutually beneficial relationship in respect to fighting the Germans. The deeper you analyze WWII and the logistics behind it, the more absolutely astonishing the German effort becomes. And had it not been for a number of foolhardy interjections by Hitler in the latter stages of the war, German resistance would have proved even stiffer.
