"Russia did most of the fighting against Hitler"
Only because Stalin ignored the warnings of his own intelligence services and did not prepare for the attack. He thought he had a deal with Hitler. But obviously he did not. And the Russian people had no choice. Many millions died due to the incompetence of their leaders.
And we took the pressure off of Stalin by entering the war and opening the western front. Not only that before we even entered the war we sent them aid in the form of:
400,000 jeeps and trucks
14,000 airplanes
8,000 tractors
13,000 tanks
More than 1.5 million blankets
15 million pairs of army boots
107,000 tons of cotton
2.7 million tons of petroleum products (to fuel airplanes, trucks and tanks)
4.5 million tons of food
opper, steel, aluminum, medicine, field radios, radar tools, books and other items.
The U.S. even transported an entire Ford Company tire factory, which made tires for military vehicles, to the Soviet Union.
From 1941 through 1945, the U.S. sent $11.3 billion, or $180 billion in 2016 dollars, in goods and services to the Soviets.
Americans also sent guns ammunition explosives copper, steel, aluminum, medicine, field radios, radar tools, books and other items.
