Nobody will realize that ‘the Communist Soviet Union gave $6 Billion in military aid, according to uncovered KGB Files, to Communist North Vietnam for its planned ‘Final Solution’ in the South. Translating into over 600 Soviet tanks and 1,000’s of Artillery pieces making their way down the Ho Chi Minh Trail to a quick Victory of the South..’ unless you keep telling them. Because, look how quickly it has been forgotten about the lend lease program that gave the Soviets $3,040,423,000 worth of monies and goods that basically paid for the atomic bomb they set off in 1945.

So, yes, BUMP!
First, the Soviets did not set off their bomb until 1949. Their first reactor did not go critical until Christmas of '45. We only set ours off in July of '45.
Here's a photo their first test, named "Joe-1", with a larger version here
Second, those goods and monies bought us a lot of dead Germans, and lots more tied down on the eastern front. It was cheap at twice the price. We knew, in spite of the lack of coverage in the New York Times, which devil we were dealing with.

600 tanks is what Gen. PATTON needed to beat Nazi Germany with during The War, World War II.
And some still wonder why a then Free South Vietnam, minus simple Ammo replacements from us, fell so quickly in early 1975..?
