What do you mean by “several factories”? :no_mouth: Like, they dissasembled the whole machinery, shipped it to USSR and assembled it?

27

I left the germans out because they had so many fun options. So i was going to give them their own post. Probably should have stated that. Kinda forgot about the M3A1.

Just turn my M3 Medium into APC just like nature intended.

I don’t know that the US sent any factories in WW2, but have you ever wondered why GAZ-AAA trucks looks like older model Fords from the 1920’s? Because the USSR purchased the whole factory.

Also a tire factory.

Hyperwar has a huge list of items sent by LL to all countries - not sure how exhaustive it is as it says it is only “Important items”… (Camel hair brushes are important??) but it is a very large list!

The USSR received a very large proportion of vital raw materials via Lend Lease:

not to mention at the rate the soviets were losing equipment, it wasnt sustainable if the war kept up, even with all that support.

One could argue the Support was “pivotal” to getting to the End result

I mean it was dumb attacking Soviets and opening up another front anyway…but yeah

I mean, at this point in war only UK was left on the west and it was besieged on it’s islands. So it was supposed to fall sooner or later.
And russia was proven to be a military dwarf on many occasions (krimean war, russo-jap war, 1ww, polish-bolshevik war, winter war) so attacking it wasn’t as stupid as it’s portrayed nowdays.

But you know, admitting germans weren’t complete idiots and clowns makes you a werhaboo so we better stop now.

I wasn’t meaning it was dumb to attack the Soviets. Just dumb to do it when they hadn’t finished off the others. Its not done till its done

Back then, UK was basically considered as “brits haven’t realised they’ve already lost”. Nowdays we know it wasn’t that simple.
