I respectfully disagree. It was the forces of the Allied troops who invaded France on D-Day from the West and the Red Army from the East. Not to dismiss our air power, but I think the troops on the ground are usually what will win wars like that. Of course the Russian winters hurting their supply lines to the Eastern Front was a big help.
