Why is Lend Lease Act important?
In July 1940, Britain lost eleven destroyers to the Germans, so Prime Minister Winston Churchill asked for help from President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The President exchanged fifty destroyers for leases on British bases, then later enacted the Lend Lease Act, which allowed President Franklin D. Roosevelt to sell, transfer, exchange, or lend war supplies (such as food, weapons, and equipment) to countries that were fighting against the Axis Powers.
Through the Lend Lease Act, Britain received over $31 billion from the U.S. Other countries received a total of $19 billion. The money allowed Britain to continue fighting against the Axis Powers until the attack on Pearl Harbor caused the U.S. to also join the War. It was a way for the United States to assist the Allies without declaring war or violating the neutrality policy it had at the time. It also turned the U.S. into an arsenal of democracy. The Lend Lease Act brought the United States closer to war. According to Senator Robert Taft who opposed the act, America would basically be fighting a war without putting soldiers in the trenches where the actual fighting is.

Desmond T. Doss (January 17, 1919-March 23, 2006) was the first conscientious objector to receive the Medal of Honor (Cpl. Thomas W. Bennett, an army medic during the Vietnam war, is the only other). He was a Private First Class (at the time of his Medal of Honor heroics) in the U.S. Army assigned to the Medical Detachment, 307th Infantry, 77th Infantry Division. Desmond Doss refused to kill, or carry a weapon into combat, because of his personal beliefs as a Seventh-day Adventist. He thus became a medic, and by serving in the Pacific theatre of World War II helped his country by saving the lives of his comrades, while also adhering to his religious convictions. His Medal of Honor was earned by the risks he took to save the lives of many comrades.

During World War II, Americans received a "pro-Allied" version of war events in Europe and elsewhere simply because America was one of the Allied nations.

How did the allies keep D-day a secret from the Germans?
The British counter-intelligence service had done a remarkable job of catching every single German spy in England. Many of these were "turned", forced to send disinformation to the Germans to mislead them.
The Allies had complete control of the air, preventing even the slightest air reconnaissance by German aircraft over the UK.
The Allies mounted a disinformation campaign called "Operation Fortitude" to mislead the Germans, and to reinforce the idea the Germans already had that the Allied landings would come at the narrowest part of the English Channel, in the Pas-de-Calais of France. As part of this they created a fictitious "First US Army Group", and let it leak out that General George Patton was in command. The Germans respected Patton as the most capable American battlefield commander they had encountered, and could not believe that he might be sidelined because he had slapped a couple of soldiers, though this was, in fact, the case. FUSAG looked to the Germans like the assault force. Fake radio traffic between non-existent units was broadcast by radio for the Germans to hear. Inflatable blow-up rubber "tanks" were staked out in fields and a single real tank driven all around to create masses of tank tracks, just in case the Germans managed to get an observation plane over.
