What stopped Hitler in '41 was logistics. Look how far he had gone. The German army was still largely supplied by horse and wagon, only some of the units were fully wheeled and/or armored. Space was the only thing that saved the Russians; about the only thing they were capable of was dying like flies. The Russians fighting may have saved the US a lot of hassle, but Hitler lost the war the day he declared war on the United States.

I am not trying to disparage or denigrate the Russians, but the opening shots of the movie "Enemy at the Gates" contain certain truths hard to avoid, ie, lack of Soviet tactical ability and the tendency to simply throw away lives for nothing. They stopped the Germans, but it took USW lendlease to give the Soviets what was needed to get to Berlin.
