The USA was not the reason why the Nazis lost the war. It was the Soviets who fought off most of the German forces.

The Russians did get their supplies from Canada, England and the USA, but they wouldtn't have come far if it haven't been for the resistance fighters in Norway, reporting and conducting espionage on the German northern fleet (consisting of deadly battleships such as Bismarck, which sank Englands largest ship, Hood and damaged Prince of Wales which was top modern in only 8 minutes! Tirpitz, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau) which could have sunk most convois.

300 000 Germans were to be transfered from Norway to Normandie fighting the allied landing in 1944, but the Norwegian resistance fighters (no more than 15 000 men) managed to improson and unarm them. Not long after, 300 000 more men lost their morale in Normandie and surrendered (a large reason because of the support troops from Norway didn't arrive).

And you think you saved the world? What about e.g. the sabotage of the Nazi nuclearbomb done by Norway? The nazis had already missiles that could reach the USA! Norway, with then it's population of 4,3 million people (now 4,6) saved you! Don't you forget...
