Having this covered by allies, soviet industry could have focused on something else.
For example, you buy half of your food in shop A. Does it mean if shop A gets closed your rations would get halved? No it does not, because you would buy more food in shop B. Or if someone covers 5% of your bills, does it mean you can not fully pay for yourself?
If you were not that dumb you would focused on more noticable american/british contribution to the victory. Bombing Germoney to the ground, destroying industrial facilities, killing civilians etc. But then again, it came to action too late, when war's outcome was already decided.
