not that it wasn't a contribution but december 1941 was as far as germany got, it was all backwards from there despite the many chances they had to turn it around again.

Yeah, Germany was already falling back when the U.S. joined in. They hastened the German defeat though. The Nazis could have held on longer if not for the U.S. They don't deserve all the credit that certain Americans heap on themselves, but their contribution was substantial.

Honestly though, I think the U.S. was mainly just trying to take Germany before the Russians because of all the technology they could snag.
