    This is 100% right. The turning point of the eastern front was Stalingrad, 1942, and most of lend-lease aid came after.

    After Stalingrad it was clear that the Soviets would not be pushed back, and the nazis were on their heels for the rest of the war (even though it continued to be a slog). That’s also why the US decided to open the western front in 1944: to prevent an inevitable Red Europe.
