American Lend-Lease to the Soviet Union did not exceed British Lend-Lease to the Soviet Union until 1943 and Germany was already decisively losing by late 1941. It literally did not change the outcome of the war, only shortened it.
I would also like to add that it was British Technology that won the war.
The US did not have a nuclear program until the British literally GAVE them theirs.
The British invented the cavity magnetron which enabled U-boat hunting at night. An American general called it the single most valuable object on US soil when a British delegation literally GAVE it to them.
The British invented the miniature vacuum tubes used in proximity fuses for flak cannons. The British GAVE this technology to the Americans and it was crucial in the Pacific theatre against kamikaze pilots and other planes. This proximity fused ammunition was MORE secret than the nuclear program and only allowed to be used at sea.

Not quite. The British theorized the idea, and did some small scale testing, but couldn't make it work for Anti-Aircraft shells. They then gave what info they found to the Americans and Canadians.
Merle Tuve and his group at the John Hopkins Uni Applied Physics lab were the ones that actually miniaturized the fuse to fit and function inside AA shells. They were manufactured mass scale at a General Electrics plant in Cleveland Ohio that usually made Christmas tree lights.
They were not decisively losing by late 1941. It's easy to sit at the end of the timeline and see the fall of the Third Reich as a historic inevitability, but it could just as well gone the other way. Heck, in late 1941 the Soviet Union was probably one bad decision away from collapsing entirely at many points.
No they were decisively losing when they failed to secure the Caucasus oil fields intact in 1941 and they could not meet oil demand for their war machine.
Let’s not forget that the first solid state computer developed at Bletchley by the British (telecom engineer Tommy Flowers for Alan Turing) was duplicated and shared to America and they “promised” they destroyed it at the end of the war.
The winners of this war were peace, equality, religious and sexual freedom. Not any one nation under a flag. And the price paid on all sides was immense. Lest we forget.
The US don't like recognising any of this. Especially around the Manhattan project. The spy ring gave them the perfect reason to eject the British from the programme. I believe (as in, it is my opinion) Eisenhower felt the British were screwed over and that led to the MDA, arguably a reversal in course by the US.
Actually it was more like Canadian Logistics. If not for the effort of the Canadians in the war for the pacific and chasing off wolf packs Britain would of suffered tremendously more.

You mean American Logistics lmfao
British intelligence, American production and Russian blood
