@MarceLoCostaGameplays7661 According to the book “The Soviet economy and the Red Army: 1930–1945”,
He designed 12 of the Russian buildings in Detroit and the remainder in the Soviet Union using Russian engineers alongside Americans. Kahn designed standardized buildings, saving cost and time. He was responsible for the design, for providing construction equipment to build the plant, and for selecting and ordering machinery to equip the finished plant. To equip these factories, from 1929 to 1932 the Russians purchased massive amounts of American, British, and other foreign machine tools. American engineers designed and constructed or enlarged all of the tank plants using American or German imported machinery. In 1932, 64% of all American metal-working machinery exports went to the Soviet Union.
Americans were initially in charge of the factories and were responsible for training Russians in operation. Over 1,000 Russians went to the United States to learn industrial techniques.
During 1929–1932, Albert Kahn trained and supervised more than 4,000 Soviet architects and engineers and designed 521 plants and factories. The famed Stalingrad Tractor Plant that kept churning out T-34s despite bitter fighting raging all around had been designed by no one other than Albert Kahn himself. By hiring American experts and imitating American techniques, the Soviets achieved 30 years of manufacturing technical development in 3 years.
The factoriesfor the T-34 had been built by American architects and engineers, and much of the machinery had been imported from America already in the 1930s.
