Which one had a bigger impact to the fact that Germany was defeated?

If you are talking strictly German army, then Russia (with a whole lot of US supplies) because that's where the bulk of the German army was. The US & British Commonwealth also was fighting italy & Japan on three Continents and their navies. Basically it was the US's industrial might that won WW2.

9/10 Germans killed during WWII were killed by Soviets. You're an idiot, assari.
 
This is not a question that truly answers how/why Nazi Germany was defeated.

The real answer, as someone else posted, was the industrial might of the US.

To better answer your question, though, in terms of red army v US army...if the US army had not committed to Europe, would the red army have been able to push back against the Nazis? I don't think so. The Germans essentially had a one-front war until the US went in to Italy and Normandy. Sure, they over-extended their supply lines and did the usual against Russia (underestimated the Russian winter), but it was the western/southern invasions by the US (and UK/Canada) that forced Germany to fight a two-front war.

If you are talking about just ground forces, then there is no question that the Soviets did much more damage. You have to realize though that the US/UK air strikes severely damaged both supply lines and manufacturing operations. Germany just did not have the resources or the manpower to win the war.
 
Communism is terrible, and it needs to be wiped off the face of the earth.

I have visited a few times in the Soviet Union (Jalta and Leningrad) in the 1980s and it seemed to be a very safe and organized country.

On the other hand stores selection was very limited and the Russians wanted to buy off your clothes.






maybe by killing 6 people we could have saved milions


Stalin, Hitler, Hirohito and who else?

Yes, the US war industry had a huge impact.




Germany just did not have the resources or the manpower to win the war.

Hitler was probably a good politician, but a terrible warlord.

None had an impact because every war in our history has been a dick measuring contest.
