They produced more tanks then Germans, more planes then Germans, more artillery then German didn't they? Boots? They got valenky, boots are all right but if it has to be so valneky will need to suffice.This ignores the realities of Russian production during the war. A regime incapable of providing enough boots is going to get more tanks produced quicker?
Sure. With not having 75 % of Wehrmacht on Eastern front, will they reach it? When? Or actually allies will postpone invasion to Europe to 1945?OTL there was a big argument between Monty and Patton over whether to grab the ports as quickly as possible, or beat the Germans back as quickly as possible. Here that argument won't happen, because Eisenhower, not being an imbecile, will know that the ports are essential, and so will go after them first.
It's possibly they postpone the invasion, but that doesn't help the Germans much, as it gives the Allies another year to build up. Oh the Germans too, but the Allies can build more and better equipment. And it may not be that much longer, given the development of nuclear weapons won't be delayed by one iota.Sure.

And Soviets too. So well another year, few million extra death on battlefields, in KL. Result? More or less same. More bled Soviets, even more bled Germans. British don't look better either. And Americans? With more death, wouldn't it have some political consequences back home? For example become isolationists again?It's possibly they postpone the invasion, but that doesn't help the Germans much, as it gives the Allies another year to build up.

There may not be not state of Israel after war is over as there will be not much Euopean Jews left so maybe we don't have Middle Eastern troubles now.
Now correct me but I read British already had men power issues in 1944. Especially to fill Army.1. Agreed, more bled soviet and nazis. Sort of the point of this question.
2. Why don't the British look better? Another cohort of recruits reach draft age. The Battle of Britain is over. The Battle of the Atlantic is mostly over, in that U-boats were becoming less effective and less numerous. Brit factories are working full tilt. The majority of their economic base is outside the range of Nazi rockets. More and better equipment is coming all the time. Soldiers that are massing in the UK for invasion are resting from fighting in France, African, Italy? ect.
3. Americans? Depends on how much more casualties. OTL, we lost a lot more in WWII, than WWI, and that did not send US back to isolation.
4. Agreed. That, imo, is the big downside to this scenario, that the Holocaust has more time to operate and kill more people.
How much would it affect the war Stalin selling oil to JapaneseNow correct me but I read British already had men power issues in 1944. Especially to fill Army.
As to Americans, remember they need to fight Japanese to. Soviets without LL especially if everybody else is getting it and not them may have lot of funny ideas. From separate peace on their original border to quietly "selling" fuel to Japanese in later stages. I am not sure here but Stalin was vengeful MF.

What about japan being in charge of getting it to places once they got it maybe gave it ship to the territory that borders russia?Transport of any useful amount would be nearly impossible to Japan, given the size of the Soviet Tanker fleet

Russians "lose" initially. Gorilla warfare is strong and nazis stard getting more and more bled out by their desire to annex as much as land as possible. Unless Japan relieves them from the east the W. Allies will beat Germany and it will probably result in a bigger rape than the end of WW2 OTL, expect even more German expelments
Heck i wouldn't be surprised if the new border is on the Elbe
