Without the food and trucks they would simply starve. Most of the farmland was occupied by Germany and even before war there were food shortages. Anyone saying otherwise has to have a massive bias. It seems to be the rage today to think soviet victory was inevitable but when you look on a map and see what was occupied and realize what areas are farmable it is obvious there was no way to fight on.

Вук Тодић You harvest food once a year, so there is no need for aid at all until at least late 1942 you already have enough stored from before. And millions of people did starve to death. If it got any worse they would have to turn to cannibalism, and some reports say they did in isolated instances. They also didn't have any boots for their new recruits without US aid. That was the first thing they sent and sent them in the millions. You can guess how well the winter fighting would go without that. Stalin also sent about 5 million to die around moscow-rhzev area in winter of 1941, would not be surprised if it were to decrease supply needs.

Stalin himself said it would be impossible to win without it. The weapons and resources could probably be done without, but the food and communications equipment and trucks made it possible to keep fighting otherwise it would be over. The trucks also made it possible to collect food. Without that and food half the country would starve to death. You can't grow food on tundra and most of the farmland was occupied.

@fegelfly7877 Wow what a dunce. The germans used horses more than the soviets, but that is not what the trucks were used for they were used for TRANSPORT especially in food production which let the russians go from 47% of their workers being in agriculture to freeing up almost everyone. And most important for doing what their trains would have done. And in addition to the endless rolling stock. Liars and idiots, those are the only people who make this crap up. The supply situation was the problem for the germans, and this would also have been a huge problem for the russians except america send over magic almost instant solutions to all these problems.
