Before I get onto the main topic I’m not on here much so may not be able to reply to this or any questions.
This is a post I have been meaning to do for a long time as I keep hearing stuff like “Russia won ww2 by itself” and this is research I have done is to show how much the Jews forced the uk and USA to give to the USSR in WW2. As most of the information around this on the Russia side is poor at best. I will not be going into the betrayal of some German commanders as this has been covered before.
This does not cover anything that was gifted to the USSR by the UK and USA
Now to get onto the topic. When people think of lend lease they think of the USA to UK as this is the most publicised. However, the numbers send to the USSR are massive to say the least.
The UK dates from between 1st October, 1941, and the termination of hostilities in Europe
The first lend lease is the British/Canadian/British empire as this is the most accurate and can be found by the uk parliament website linked here
https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1946/apr/16/russia-british-empire-war-assistance
As the list is long I will highlight some of the equipment here
Tanks - 5,218 tanks, of which 1,388 were from Canada
Aircraft- 7,411 aircraft
Vehicles(includes lorries and ambulances): 4,020.
Ships - 1Battleship.
9 Destroyers.
4 Submarines.
5 Motor mine-sweepers.
9 Mine-sweeping trawlers.
Petrol, Oil and other Product - 14,146 tons
(the Ussr didn’t have much oil production for aircraft fuel until the end of the war a least)
TOTAL VALUE of all foodstuffs supplied: £8,210,000.(this annoyed me the most because as the British people were starving from a war they did not want, vital food was being sent the USSR)
Raw materials – 356,804 tons valued at £47,841,000
The USA Lend lease to the USSR from 1941-1945
Now this is were it get tricky as some numbers do conflicted with each other I will be taking some info from world war 2 infographics printed by Thames and Hudson and the US. Embassy & consulates in Russia linked below
https://ru.usembassy.gov/world-war-ii-allies-u-s-lend-lease-to-the-soviet-union-1941-1945/
key Parts from US. Embassy & consulates
400,000 jeeps & trucks
14,000 airplanes
8,000 tractors
13,000 tanks
1.5 million blankets
15 million pairs of army boots
107,000 tons of cotton
2.7 million tons of petrol products
4.5 million tons of food
The WW2 infographic also states that
1955 locomotives were supplied making up most of the USSR fleet of trains.
To also point out the Stalin after the war never started to pay back any of the money estimated at $180 billion in todays money. Russia now has signed an agreement to pay back the money.
When looking into how important this was it becomes hard to tell as Russia does not release the fully picture behind this (as it will hurt Putin trying to resurrect the USSR) one source available here
https://www.historynet.com/did-russia-really-go-it-alone-how-lend-lease-helped-the-soviets-defeat-the-germans.htm
states the following “Extrapolating from available statistics, researchers estimate that British-supplied tanks made up 30 to 40 percent of the entire heavy and medium tank strength of Soviet forces before Moscow at the beginning of December 1941” this is for the battle of Moscow.
There is lots of detail in how the lend lease of the UK and USA Supplied the Red army. But it gets tricky to determine what are real facts or impact as it is made up of Jewish figures as they are easy to manipulate so will not go into this.
However my opinion is that it played a big role in the beginning of the Eastern front war.
