thank you Krieghund,
once again you have answered my rules questions within a day of posting them. you are awesome!
How much did Lend-Lease help the U.S.S.R? Did U.S and Great Britian supplies actually change events on the eastern front?
In terms of trucks and winter boots alone, the answer is that the value of Western Allied support to Soviets was incalculably high.
In A&A we think in terms of sending them Ftrs for defense of Moscow… or a few IPCs here and there. But it was a mega-campaign to bulk up the entire industrial and war-fighting infrastructure.
Anyway, that’s what I’ve read… somewhere on the web you can find actual stats on how many vehicles, parts, ammo, etc. we shipped to Russia…
I find it funny that the Soviets after WWII, with all the Cold War tension, try to play down the role of Lend-Lease.
Really? Did they claim it was no big deal?
