Point of Kaiser, Burgen, Von Paulus and me is not that U.S. Army is crap. Point is that your claim that U.S. contributed the most is false. We are not saying that Red Army was greatest army in the world, we are saying that that they took the brunt of the war.
But I must also mention Britain. As much as did Russia do to defeat Germans on land, Britain did as much as that in air and on sea ( Battle for Britain considerably weakened German Air Force, as well did battles in atlantic and Mediterean-ships).

In my opinion U.S. got involved in European theatre only when it realised that Russia will defeat Germany and could invade Europe, thus U.S. would lose important market and opportunities for economic investment.

P.S. this thought always puzzled me: what if Hitler did not attack Russia and Britain once he had all of Europe by 1942. What if he consolidated German power in Europe and didn't honour agreement with Japan and thus didn't declare war on U.S.. If he had done this, neither Russia, U.S. or U.K. would attack German Europe, not untill they would become sufficently strong in economic and military departments ( note: both Russia and Britain wanted to avoid war prior to WW2 and Germany was given a 'free hand' in Europe).

Imagine if Hitler took 10-15 to consolidate his power, to use natural resources of Europe and to recruit soldiers from all those European countries ( note: in WW2 Germany used soldiers from almost all occupied countries, so if he had 10 years to influence them by propaganda and terror he would have much more soldiers). I think that only unoccupied country today would be U.S.. neither German europe or U.S. could invade each other, and the rest of the world would be divided between two of them ( but Germany would take larger slice because had early military advantages and U.S. was more isolationist).

I think that we all would be now typing in German!!!!
