50 percent to the British

25 percent to the Russians

10 percent to Canada and other Allies

15 percent to the USA
You need to do a little bit more reading on the Eastern Front methinks. If I was forced to allocated percentage points I'd have it more like:

10 percent to the British/Commonwealth and other Allies

60 percent to the Russians

30 percent to the USA

The USA percentage may well be higher if you agree with the assumption that Lend Lease kept the Soviet railroad system running, without which the Red Army could not have defeated the Wehrmacht.
