I don't think America won the war for us, it's far from being a simple equation. We were being supplied by the Americans for some time and had lots of American pilots flying with us from the UK before the US officially joined in. We held the line and destroyed the Luftwaffe at a key point though. Not long after that the Germans made a huge tactical mistake by invading Russia, and at the wrong time of year too. The Russians weathered that onslaught with massive loss of military and civilian lives, then counterattacked Germany, eventually pushing them all the way back to Berlin. The real question might be, would Russian Communism be as weak is it is today if it had not had to bow to the NATO (including America) rules of how to split up Germany and the rest of Eastern Europe...

The National archives keeps all those records. As his son you will only be able to obtain a copy of his DD-214 which are his separation papers. That does give you a lot of information like ranks obtain, medals won, time in service and any special commendations he got. If you are looking to get orders for any special awards (medals) he got you then have to write the command that he got them from and they at their discretion will send you the orders for that particular award.

You can write a letter to BUPERS which is in Millington, Tennessee. Ordinarily those documents are guarded and can usually only be viewed by the servicemember.

Contact your local Vet office, they should be able to help you. The site that google gives is a pay site.
