You're not wrong but a lot of those eastern front deaths came from the final days of the war as the allies marched on Germany's own land and as well as many battles fought by the Allies across both fronts. The US was instrumental to the pacific front. You'd also have a hard time convincing me France could have been liberated without the US's D Day Operations.
