Most of the help given by the USA and the UK was financial, not so much fighting on the front lines with the russians. The russians were determined to fight to the end no matter the cost and with the superior numbers, tanks, aircraft etc, they would have been able to win the war in this mannor. The biggest reason the nazi's got so far into russia was because it was unexpected, they actually signed a truce with the soviet union but hitler went back on it and attacked, allowing them to get masses of land before the russians could send in many troops. However once the russians did get there act together they pretty much pushed the germans out of russia as they could not capture any major cities and because the general population of russia hated the nazi's, meaning when they took over russian land they were leaving enemies at there back.
