<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 7695617, member: 12789&quot;]I have studied that subject very much.&nbsp; I have read up a lot on lend lease etc. and have come to a middle ground conclusion that the USA did the USSR an enormous favour with all the aid.&nbsp; Inasmuch as [USER=115909]@Gam3rBlake[/USER]&nbsp; thinks that American blood was spilled needlessly we actually bleed a lot more butter, fuel, trucks, and aircraft.&nbsp; The Soviets gave their lives in huge numbers - about inestimable in fact.&nbsp; US aid was significant, but it was not the majority of resources being expended by the USSR as a lot of American equipment was not suitable for conditions especially weather on the territory of the USSR.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do believe had America not been dragged into the war with the declaration of war by Hitler and Mussolini on 12 December that the USSR, Great Britain and all the sundry groups in Jugoslavija, Poland, Greece etc would have eventually prevailed over the fascists - but only after a titanic struggle that would have cost many millions more lives and probably dragged the USA in eventually anyhow.</p><p><br /></p><p>Instead of saying one gave more than the other - it is far more realistic to be thankful that we all gave some and that some gave all to defeat the greatest threat to mankind in quite sometime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
