Whats the saying about what won the war?

British Intel

American Steel

Soviet Blood

Fun fact that even a book produced by US military, it makes it pretty clear that allies played a minor role in the war and that USSR would have won all on their own.

That says it would’ve taken 12-18 months of additional intense bloodshed for the USSR. That doesn’t seem insignificant
