Of course it did - it was called "Lend-Lease", although nothing was lent and nothing was leased - it was a giveaway with at most only token payments and most of that from separate US loans:

Separately the US itself was building up its own war making ability and that started in '39 with the start of WWII. That earlier infusion of contracts to industry likely the beginning of the end of the Depression in the US. Germany at the time was far ahead in pulling out of the financial doldrums.
