"I remember Nikita Krhuschev (I have no idea how to spell that name) said he would have starved to death during WWII if it had not been for Spam."

The Soviet Army survived on Spam during WW2.

The Soviet Army survived on Spam during WW2.

I watched a show on the history channel about the T-34 in WWII. A T-34 crewman was talking about what they were given in rations. (I'm paraphrasing the amounts) 300 grams of bread per person, 1 litre of vodka per tank, canned vegetables, 100 grams of butter per tank, and canned meat. (the following is a direct quote from the Soviet tanker) "If we were very lucky, the canned meat given to us was SPAM from America, that was delicious!"
