Pardon, it was 1949. My link had the right date, I mistyped.
The goods and money did buy us a lot of dead German’s but it also literally donated to the Communist Motherland a lot of U.S. planes, munitions, chemicals, tools, heavy machinery and secrets.
Well the secrets part they got "unofficially" from the likes of Klaus Fuchs, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, David Greenglass, Theodore Hall, and Morton Sobell
Interestingly, I recently read an article about how we blew up some of those Lend-Lease aircraft on an airfield inside the Soviet Union during the Korean War. It was "navigational error", or at least even the pilots involved thought it was... however even they speculated that they were deliberately sent into that area of North Korea, quite near the Soviet Union (and now near Russia) under poor visibility conditions, and sent after a very similar appearing NK airfield, to "send a message" to Joe Stalin, that he'd best keep his off. Material support was one thing, Soviet Troops would have been something else entirely.
The article is:
