> and US stopped them

The Allies stopped them. The US was one of the major contributors, but they were far from alone. The Soviets, Britain, Canada, India, Poland, France, Netherlands, Kenya, etc etc all contributed to various extents. The Indian army was one of the biggest by number of men. The Poles and French were crucial in setting the ground work for the British decrypting Enigma, alongside their purely military contributions.

The Eastern Front was the real battlefield were Nazi Germany was doomed.

Stalingrad, Kursk, Bagration, etc.
