It wasn't really assiting now was it? Britain had no choice to agree to a deal that helped destroy the British Empire, almost broke the British economy more than once after the war years to such a point that the UK even considered applying to become a us state and was only paid back in full a couple of years back. Thats assisting?
Look at it this way. IF Britain fell to the Nazis then you guys could well have been conquered too, Germany would only be fighting on one front (the east) and america would have lost the best (and possibly the only practical) landing point to mainland europe but Germany had plenty of allies in Southern America to launch an attack after dealing or comming to a truce with Russia
