And that only happened because the US provided basically everything to the Soviets under Lend-Lease.
Without American equipment, the Soviets were getting absolutely slaughtered.
Their infrastructure was collapsed, they were out of equipment and couldn’t produce more. The US provided tanks, guns, bullets, clothes, food, and even railway to them to keep them afloat and hold off the Nazis while they fought the Western Front.
Without Lend-Lease, the Soviets stood exactly zero chance.
Lend Lease supplied 10% of the Soviets supplies tops. This is such gigantic hypercope.
Nobody says it did not help, but you are exaggerating the role of the US into infinity.
Exactly like how the US propaganda tried to rewrite history after the fact.
Stalin and Kruschev both openly stated that without the US lend lease, the Soviets would have lost.
That’s not cope. That’s the Soviets themselves.
To pretend like Lend Lease was the entire war is massive cope. 10% is a lot but nowhere close to 100%.
