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:

"The Day We Shot Up the Soviets", Soldier of Fortune, November 2007, Vol. 33, No. 11, starting on page 32.

It will probably be available on line as soon as the December issue comes out at: SoF Magazine
