Hadn't heard that particualr conspiracy Historian, pretty interesting though.

All the same, somehow I find it difficult to believe that even without the impact of the allies in the West, Germany could have beaten Russia. I agree with Richard Overy who seems to claim that the war in the east was won by late 1943 and that the only real allied contribution to this was the bomber war (which diverted large amounts of German production to AAA and kept the Luftwaffe focused in the West). However, I reckon even without this, the USSR might have pushed their way to Berlin, albeit maybe around 2007.
