What candidate. Germans would have lost to Red Army sooner or later. You think Stalin gives a shit if he throws 20 million or 40 million in the grinder? After 1941 he already outpaced the tank production of Germany to eventually more than double it, aided by the infinite natural resource cheat Hitler didn't have. If anything, US saved Germany from itself. It wouldn't have been a pretty little West Germany without them.
