What do think happened to the Soviet Union after they survived the initial onslaught ? They ramped up the vast Soviet natural resources to put together tremendous war production capacity. By the end of the war they building warplanes, tanks, artillery, ammunition, etc at a far higher rate than the rate of destruction at the hands of the Wehrmacht and probably at a higher rate than the American military buildup.
What everyone glosses over is the Soviet Union took on arguably the World's finest war machine (and probably 80% of the Wehrmacht, the rest being spread over the piddly Western and southern fronts fighting the Americans/Britsh) toe-to-toe for three (3) years and eventually beat them with sheer numbers. Vast numbers of battle-hardened troops who would have certainly given the Americans a tough fight. "Normandy" ? "Battle of the Bulge" ? mere sideshows compared to the battles on the Eastern front (e.g. Kursk, Stalingrad, Moscow).
