Ungrateful Russia, See How The USA Helped The Soviet Union During Ww2 by GistFullGround: 9:21pm On Sep 13, 2022 |
Even before the United States entered World War II in December 1941, America sent arms and equipment to the Soviet Union to help it defeat the Nazi invasion. Totaling $11.3 billion, or $180 billion in today’s currency, the Lend-Lease Act of the United States supplied needed goods to the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1945 in support of what Stalin described to Roosevelt as the “enormous and difficult fight against the common enemy — bloodthirsty Hitlerism.” 400,000 jeeps & trucks 14,000 airplanes 8,000 tractors 13,000 tanks 1.5 million blankets 15 million pairs of army boots 107,000 tons of cotton 2.7 million tons of petrol products 4.5 million tons of food https://ru.usembassy.gov/world-war-ii-allies-u-s-lend-lease-to-the-soviet-union-1941-1945/ 1 Like |

castro2468:If Hilter have focused on UK instead of USSR then UK would have falling flat. The German knew UK as nothing to offer because Britain don’t have the resources the USSR has. USSR is blessed with Oil, gas, wood, steel and Aluminium while Britain is just an island. UK was battle the German but the German was using the Britain has a diversion to attack the USSR, and it work because Stalin never believed his generals when they told German want to attack USSR. 2 Likes |

Pfffff! The Soviets saved the tail of the West. They faced the Wehrmacht in most of the deadliest engagements than any other. They enter Berlin days before the US even moved forward from miles away. Russian casualties when 27 million to say the least. The US only lost less than 292,000 lives. 2 Likes 1 Share
