Soviet Union (not Russia) did not win the war, it was the overproduction of the Allies, Germany could not produce enough manpower and production of arms and other goods.
Hitler and Stalin was going to be at war anyways, it was only who will attack who. Germany would still lose the war, Japan would still attack Pearl Habor in December 7, 1941 and would bring the United States into the war, with the very high production of United States and Great Britiant large naval forces will bring the downfall of Germany, with the lost of Bismarck and other great warships of the German navy, it would cause the shipping attacks and blocking of all ports from Germany and preventing trades or important shipping to Norway, allowing it to fall. With 5 to 1 tanks to the Germany, it'll take the Germans to take out 4 tanks to be lost, however with little Tigers and very litter heavy tanks, till the period of 1942-1944, the Germany would slowly suffers many shortages and manpower losses. Japan is to far to provide any services and help and it does not protect its shipping suffering from a HUGE suffering of supplies losses, Italy would be invaded and defeated because of the lack of arms, training, and other imporant needs of an army.
Unlike the Germany forces, USA and British forces uses airborne troops very heaily, with carbines and semiautomatic weapons that the Germans lacks, allowing close combat to favors heavily to the Americans as the standard Germany infrantryman carried a Karbiner98 ( Mauser K98 rifle). A bolt action rifle compare to the American M1 Carbine, Grand, and the Thompson sub-machine gun.
Japan even though suffered huge shipping losses, would have a policy that is still feared today, NEVER surrender, EVER. And therefore Japanese are known to be bloody and fighting down to the last man, in many cases the Battle of Tarawa, over 35,000 Americans fought to just 5,200 Japanese and other nationality troops, only 17 Japanese are capture. The Battle of Okinawa, over 100,000 Japanese troops were fighting United States, all of the officers, commanders, are killed and only around 7,000-10,000 were capture.
Banzai charges were uncommon and put feared into the American fighters, in many cases, both Japan, Italy, and Germany would lost with or without the Soviet Union.
