It did a few things to help the Allies.

  1. It brought the Soviet Union into the war. The Soviet Union was the largest country on the planet, with a huge population and vast resources.
  2. It diverted attention away from Britain. Britain was on the verge of being conquered by Germany, but Germany turned to fight the Soviets, thereby saving Britain.
  3. The Germans wasted a massive amount of resources fighting the Soviets. Entire armies were lost, and the killing was so immense that it was considered a death sentence for a German soldier to be transferred to the Eastern Front.

Once the Soviets recovered from the initial invasion, the massive Soviet Red Army was able to grind down and destroy most of the German military. While American and British bombers crippled German industries, the Soviets did most of the work of defeating the German Wehrmacht.
