Premier Stalin to Prime Minister Churchill: "Without these two forms of help the USSR will either suffer defeat or be weakened to such an extent that it will lose for a long time any capacity to render assistance to its allies" About 4 years later: "The glorious and mighty USSR could have reached Berlin on it's own haha.

@sovietheart3883 It's not false, it's a direct quote from "Documents on British Foreign Policy". Which is a collection of telegrams by foreign ministers, diplomats and leaders. Document is dated 4th September 1941.

nah factory workers didn't need food nor aluminium in order to build tanks, at least that's according to tankies.

"but the USSR made more trucks than they got in lend-lease" Perhaps, but they wouldn't have made any trucks without the few hundred tanks delivered in November 1941. Targeted statistics are key here, like 40% of Soviet tanks during the defence of Moscow were from lend-lease.

@-Zevin- Except actually they would turn it away if they didn't need it. They turned away Marshall aid.

@MAP1-234 The Soviets were literally using children by 1945. Contrary to popular myth, the Soviets did not have unlimited manpower. Without the western fronts, even in 1944, they would have been even more stretched.

@MAP1-234 Kids? Yes. Chuikov said that 16 year olds were his best troops in the battles of 1945. Do you also know how many casualties they incurred ? A lot.
