Only Finland made payments after WW2. Not Britain or France or anyone else paid a nickel.

“Only Finland made (Lend-Lease) payments after WW2. Not Britain or France or anyone else paid a nickel.”

Most recipients did get significant forgiveness, but most also made some payments in kind, like providing food and fuel for American forces, or offering rent-free use of their bases (like Diego Garcia for many decades, by the Brits), in lieu of cash re-payment. Repayment schedules were generally stretched over 50 years. The Netherlands actually paid in full.
