  1. The V2 missile was the second most expensive weapon made up to that time. The Atlantic Wall from the Arctic circle to Spain was the largest construction project in history. Germany did not build over 1,000 U boots for use on the East Front.

  2. What was the USSR doing from 1939 to 22 June 1941?

  3. "Resources" How many V2's, the second most expensive weapon produced, and V1's were launched against the Red Army?

  4.  @yrouellet1718  The 1,000 U boats built almost won the Battle of the Atlantic. The Flak Towers built in 1940 are still standing. Fuel for the V2 was made from potato's at a time when people were starving in Germany. The Atlantic Wall from the Artic Circle to Spain was the largest construction project in history. How much of the German or Italian Navy was destroyed by the USSR? How many tons of bombs did the USSR drop on Germany?

  5. Correct, but not under Lend Lease approved for USSR and Free France in November 41. In October 41 the USA "loaned" funds to Britain for production of materials for USSR.

But you cannot deny that Americans drove many materials, without which we would not be 119 — able to form our reserves and could not continue the war ... And how much steel they supplied! Could we quickly establish the production of tanks, if not for American aid? And now they show it in a way that we had plenty of sources.» pdf Food and other strategic deliveries to the Soviet Union under the Lend-Lease Act, 1941-1945 Khrushchev wrote in his autobiography, “Without Spam, we wouldn’t have been able to feed our army.”

  10. Germany had new and improved force multipliers in significant numbers from mid 1942. 50mm and 75mm AT guns, MG42, self loading rifles, panzer Faust, panzer shreck, tank destroyers, up gunned and up armored PzVI's, Panthers and Fw190s.

  11.  @SmotritelMayaka29  I should not state facts? Over one million tons of bombs were dropped on Germany and Germany developed bomb proof buildings, the Me 262, 128mm flak gun, airborne radar and radar detectors to shoot down bombers as well as new land warfare weapons like the Nebelwerfer and also the V1, V2 and Type 21 U boot. As I understand it Germany was still at peace time production levels as late as 1942 when Britain was producing more aircraft than Germany because Hitler did not want the German people at home to experience any hardships caused by diverting production to weapons. According to Inside The Third Reich by Minister of Armaments Albert Speer, there was a lot of Empire Building within the Third Reich which interfered with production and after Hitler gave Speer unprecedented powers much of that was eliminated. Germany used millions of slave laborers which increased production, but a lot of what they produced was sabotaged even though being caught meant a death sentence.

  16. From 1942 Germany produced a variety of force multipliers. MG42, grenade launchers, self loading rifles, Panzerfaust, Panzershreck, 50mm AT gun, 75mm AT gun, Panther tanks, up armored and up gunned Pz IV tanks, tank destroyers and dedicated tank busting aircraft.

  18. USSR stiffed the USA for almost all of the 11 Billion 1945 USD it received under Lend Lease. Quote and link below. The USA wrote off "about" 21 Billion USD of Britains LL debt in 1945. In the Anglo American Loan of 1945 the USA loaned to Britain 3.75 Billion USD plus 586 Million for the balance of LL. Those loans were paid off in December 2006. links on request. Part II: Formal negotiations between the U.S. and USSR to settle the Lend-Lease account began in 1947. The two countries could not agree on an acceptable figure for compensation even though the United States dropped its claim from $1.3 billion to $800 million and the Soviet Union upped its offer from $170 million to $240 million. Negotiations were, therefore, suspended in late 1951, and in early 1952, the U.S. decided not to move forward on the issue. https://text-message.blogs.archives.gov/2020/07/14/the-resurrection-of-world-war-ii-lend-lease-records-on-the-ussr-a-story-in-seven-parts/

  22. RUSSIA (BRITISH EMPIRE WAR ASSISTANCE) HC Deb 16 April 1946 vol 421 cc2513-92513 §45. Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre asked the Prime Minister if he will publish a comprehensive statement giving a list of 2514the weapons and materials, together with their costs, that were supplied in aid to the U.S.S.R. by the British Empire, between 1st October, 1941, and the termination of hostilities in Europe. §The Prime Minister (Mr. Attlee) Yes, Sir. I am circulating a full statement in the OFFICIAL REPORT. The House may like to have the following summary of this. In the period from 1st October, 1941, to 31st March, 1946, we supplied to the Soviet Union 5,218 tanks, of which 1,388 were from Canada. We supplied 7,411 aircraft, including 3,129 aircraft sent from the United States of America. As previously explained on the 10th May, 1944, the aircraft from the United States of America were sent on United States Lend Lease to the Soviet Union as part of the British commitment to the U.S.S.R. in exchange for the supply of British aircraft to United States Forces in the European Theatre. The total value of military supplies despatched amounts to approximately £308 million. We have also sent about £120 million of raw materials, foodstuffs, machinery, industrial plant, medical supplies and hospital equipment. We are very glad to have been able to give this assistance to our Soviet Allies and to have helped to equip and sustain them in their bitter struggle against the common enemy. §Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre Can the Prime Minister say whether the Soviet public have been informed by the Soviet Press and radio of this substantial contribution to the Allied victory over Germany in the East? §The Prime Minister Full publicity was given to the reply which was given by the right hon. Member for Woodford (Mr. Churchill) on 10th May, 1944 Of course, this is essentially a matter for the Soviet authorities, but I should hope that full information will be given. Mr. Skeffington-Lodģe Will my right hon. Friend arrange for this information to be put over the B.B.C. by the regular Russian broadcasts which are now being made so as to enable our Russian Allies to develop a proper perspective in judging the relative merits in contributions of those who brought about our united victory? §The Prime Minister I would like to consider that suggestion, which seems to me to be a good one.
