Without the war production of American Factories, Germany would have won WW2 easily.
Buried by Soviet propaganda after WW2 is that somewhere between 200-400 US-built Lee’s, Shermans, and Grants were engaged at the Battle of Kursk, in 1943.
They called the M3 Lee “the Coffin for seven brothers”, and felt the Sherman was inferior to the T-34. (it was).
Almost all of the ammunition (made with 26 million pounds of U.S.-provided Glycerin) used at Kursk was delivered in American-built trucks.
These facts about American (and British) aid to the Russians became an Inconvenient truth in the propaganda war after the end of WW2.
What cannot be denied, however, is that while we did the building, they did the dying. In massive, unbelievable numbers.
It’s astonishing the number of casualties the Germans inflicted on the soviets in the first two years, and yet they kept fighting.
Most of them unnecessarily because of Stalin's incompetence and callous disregard for the lives of his soldiers.
