I’m not sure we should argue politics but… American intervention was not inevitable. Even merely materiale supply wasn’t inevitable. There were a number of ways America could’ve been out of the picture or impotent; one of the cited turning points/mistakes was the failure of the Battle of Britain to bring England to terms, or the escape of their army at Dunkirk.
Letting America into the war was arguably one of Hitler’s greatest mistakes (either by commission or omission, and there was even a historical parallel warning against America that Hitler was intimately familiar with—WWI).
America may’ve been tops in industry, but it’s hard to see it launching a transoceanic invasion into Europe with no allied powers closer than… Africa? Asia?
