Russian ground forces, I have no dispute on that fact, but it wouldn't have
been that way without the other front.

That's a VERY simple (and wrong) way of looking at it.  Thought experiment
-- what happens when you take away the western front, move all those forces
to the east, give Germany back its manufacturing capacity and an
overwhelming airforce, take away western aid to Russia, including military
aid.  Answer, if Russia wins, it'll take a whole lot longer and it's truly
in doubt whether they would, Russia just didn't have the tech to do it,
they had only bodies to throw at the Germans.
