I'm not terrific at history, but I believe it was because the Americans were fresh troops and they weren't worn down by years of trench warfare.
When the House or the Senate passes a bill it is referred to the other chamber where it usually follows the same route through committee and floor action. This chamber may approve the bill as received, reject it, ignore it, or amend it before passing it.
Conference on a bill
If only minor changes are made to a bill by the other chamber, usually the legislation goes back to the originating chamber for a concurring vote. However, when the House and Senate versions of the bill contain significant and/or numerous differences, a conference committee is officially appointed to reconcile the differences between the two different versions into a single bill. If the conferees are unable to reach agreement, the legislation dies. If agreement is reached, a conference report is prepared describing the committee members' recommendations for changes. Both the House and the Senate must approve of the conference report. If either chamber rejects the conference report, the bill dies.
Other than the fact that 6 million died under Hitler, many more died after liberation from disease. Many lost their homes, families, possessions, jobs, and had to start from scratch. orphaned children had been sent to homes, communities were destroyed, etc. So I'd say it had a very negative impact on the Jewish people.
