Lets just compare the goods USSR received from the Lend Lease to the goods they manufactured on their own:
Lend Lease / Russian product (1941–1945)
aircrafts: 14,795/134,100
tanks: 7,056/102,800
artillery cannons: 8,218/825,200
oil: 2,670,000/110,600,000 (tons)
steel: 1,500,000/39,680,000 (tons)
food: 733,000/64,121,000 (tons)
Lend lease sent to the USSR:
Aircraft - 7.411 (CW) + 14.795 (US) = 22.206
Automotive:
— 1.5 ton trucks 151.053 (US
— 2.5 ton trucks 200.662 (US)
— Willys Jeeps 77.972 (US)
Bren Gun Carriers - 2.560 (CW)
Boots - 15 million pairs (US)
Communications equipment:
— Field phones - 380.135 (US)
— Radios - 40.000 (US)
— Telephone cable - 1.25 million miles (US)
Cotton cloth - 107 million square yards (US)
Foodstuffs - 4.5 million tons (US)
Leather - 49.000 tons (US)
Motorcycles - 35.170 (US)
Locomotives - 1.981 units (US)
Rolling stock - 11.155 units (US)
Tanks - 5.218 (CW) + 7.537 (US) = 12.755
Tractors - 8.701 (US)
Trucks - 4.020 (CW) + 357.883 (US) = 361.903
That's the entirety of Allied Lend Lease to the Soviet Union. We did a good job, that's a lot of stuff to produce and bring to a country on the other side of the world during a maritime war effort; but that's barely 10% of Soviet production*, and it most certainly did not win the war.
*(The war was decided in the winter of 1941, before the first American trade arrived.)

Oh my god, corporations sold shit to a capitalist nation and they purchased it. I already said that Germany was capitalist and had support from abroad including foreign industrialists, they were a mass movement and they had millions who viewed them with sympathy, it’s not surprising that those men supported them, and nations bordering Germany supported them either because they feared getting invaded or because they thought they could make some money out of the war and millions of people fought for the Germans because they probably didn’t want their home to be taken over by communists and to be turned into nothing more than fucking serfs who didn’t own anything while the party elite who more resembled nobels could exploit those people.
Also this isn’t even remotely comparable to the amount of shit the Soviets got for free, and the reason I brought it up was because the Soviets were happy to accept shit from capitalists and imperialists who they supposedly despised.

Are you that retard who got banned from the Patriotic War Myths thread because of your bullshit? Cause you sound just like him.

No. 90% of aviation fuel produced and used for 1944 was lend lease, however that 90% was almost nothing compared to actual soviet fuel stockpiles.
Cooper Peterson
10% is a pretty massive amount and it no doubt helped immensely especially In 41 and 42 to fill in gaps in production and to free up men for fighting. But I’m not arguing about how much they got or didn’t get, I’m arguing that communists have been supported throughout history by industrialists, capitalists, and bourgeoisie but this is ok for some reason, but a non communist nation getting support is somehow strange or a sign that it is just a puppet nation.
