Thanks for the link above and I have already told you, I am not promoting any revisionist view ... just the truth, which obviously you and the other American's do not want to accept. For you and the Americans, USA was the only Nation who fought Germany and won the WWII and nobody else offered anything to the war.
May I point out to you and your friends.... that any person (with bad will) could easily accuse the Americans that they were the only Nation that benefited from the expansion of your defence and other industries and you took advantage of the USSR and the UK, who paid you dearly for your help!
MAY I REMIND YOU .....In June 1941 "Harry Truman" was quoted in the pages of

This month marks 75 years since the United States launched its Lend-Lease program to supply the Allies with much-needed war materiel for the fight against Hitler. Downplayed by the Soviet Union, the program was of vital importance to the USSR’s war effort, as even Marshal Zhukov later admitted.On 11 March 1941 American "President Franklin D. Roosevelt" signed the Lend-Lease bill, which permitted the U.S. to supply its anti-Hitler coalition allies with materiel.A loan that became historyThe history of Lend-Lease began on May 15, 1940 when UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill asked Roosevelt to temporarily give Britain 40-50 old destroyers in exchange for British naval and air bases in the Atlantic Ocean.
The Americans remembered a law from 1892 in accordance with which the defense secretary can "lease army property for a maximum of five years if the country does not need it." Based on this law a supply program was developed, which Roosevelt signed into law on March 11, 1941.
According to the program, American materials "destroyed, lost or used during the war were not subject to payment." What had to be paid for was the property that remained after the war and was used for civilian purposes.
‘The common enemy – bloodthirsty Hitlerism’Soviet leader Joseph Stalin decided to join Lend-Lease soon after Hitler's Germany invaded the USSR in June 1941.
The U.S., UK and Canada supplied the USSR with some $130 billion worth of supplies during WWII.
