REgamesplayer First you say "anyone who claim that lend lease was crucial in winning the war are just making the stuff up and grasping at straws" Then you immediately turn around and say "The issue is when westerners claim that lend lease was essential in winning a war. No one disputed that, even Russians did not." Whereas people who actually know what they're talking about "Today [1963] some say the Allies didn't really help us… But listen, one cannot deny that the Americans shipped over to us material without which we could not have equipped our armies held in reserve or been able to continue the war." Soviet Marshal Georgy Zhukov "...if the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war. If we had had to fight Nazi Germany one on one, we could not have stood up against Germany's pressure, and we would have lost the war." Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev "On the whole the following conclusion can be drawn: that without these Western shipments under Lend-Lease the Soviet Union not only would not have been able to win the Great Patriotic War, it would not have been able even to oppose the German invaders, since it could not itself produce sufficient quantities of arms and military equipment or adequate supplies of fuel and ammunition. The Soviet authorities were well aware of this dependency on Lend-Lease. Thus, Stalin told Harry Hopkins [FDR's emissary to Moscow in July 1941] that the U.S.S.R. could not match Germany's might as an occupier of Europe and its resources" Russian historian Boris Vadimovich Sokolov " "Without American production the United Nations [the Allies] could never have won the war." Joseph Stalin But what the fuck do they know right? Just a bunch of dumb americans amiright?
