I did get to visit the Polynesian once for New Years Magic Kingdom was full so we went there to watch the fireworks and its GORGEOUS . Plus , me and my family LOVE the Polynesian feel we instantly fell in love with Hawaii when we went there and love the tropical atmosphere <| sep |> Yes . The largest nation on earth relied on american resources . I guess morons believe everything they see on documentaries . Here ' s a hint moron , all documentaries are just shit propaganda . You are accusing us of relying on propaganda while spouting soviet propaganda . This is rich . Let ' s begin with a Quote from Nikita Khrushchev , who was military commisar at the timeI would like to express my candid opinion about Stalin ' s views on whether the Red Army and the Soviet Union could have coped with Nazi Germany and survived the war without aid from the United States and Britain . First , I would like to tell about some remarks Stalin made and repeated several times when we were discussing freely among ourselves . He stated bluntly that if the United States had not helped us , we would not have won the war . If we had had to fight Nazi Germany one on one , we could not have stood up against Germany ' s pressure , and we would have lost the war . No one ever discussed this subject officially , and I don ' t think Stalin left any written evidence of his opinion , but I will state here that several times in conversations with me he noted that these were the actual circumstances . He never made a special point of holding a conversation on the subject , but when we were engaged in some kind of relaxed conversation , going over international questions of the past and present , and when we would return to the subject of the path we had traveled during the war , that is what he said . When I listened to his remarks , I was fully in agreement with him , and today I am even more so . To begin with . The raw numbers . The United States gave to the Soviet Union from October 1 , 1941 to May 31 , 1945 the following 427 , 284 trucks , 13 , 303 combat vehicles , 35 , 170 motorcycles , 2 , 328 ordnance service vehicles , 2 , 670 , 371 tons of petroleum products gasoline and oil or 57 . 8 percent of the Highoctane aviation fuel , 4 , 478 , 116 tons of foodstuffs canned meats , sugar , flour , salt , etc . , 1 , 911 steam locomotives , 66 Diesel locomotives , 9 , 920 flat cars , 1 , 000 dump cars , 120 tank cars , and 35 heavy machinery cars . Provided ordnance goods ammunition , artillery shells , mines , assorted explosives amounted to 53 percent of total domestic production . One item typical of many was a tire plant that was lifted bodily from the Ford Company ' s River Rouge Plant and transferred to the USSR . The 1947 money value of the supplies and services amounted to about eleven billion dollars . Roughly 17 . 5 million tons of military equipment , vehicles , industrial supplies , and food were shipped from the Western Hemisphere to the USSR , 94 % coming from the US . For comparison , a total of 22 million tons landed in Europe to supply American forces from January 1942 to May 1945 . It has been estimated that the amount that was shipped through the Persian corridor 27 % of the total amount would be enough to equip , my American standards , 60 divisions . To break it down , the soviets outproduced America in exactly 2 categories . Tanks and Artillery . Even in 1943 and 44 , once the industry had stabilized and the soviets could supply their own arms , American continued to give them aid , all across the board from crude to coal , but also , most importantly , Food and Trucks . America built the soviet logistics from the ground up . Even by 1945 , 13 rd of the logistics used by the soviets was built on American Trucks . That is factory space that was freed up for the tanks and artillery . It is save to say that without these trucks , the soviets would not have had nearly the success they had against the Germans , and would indeed have gotten bogged down . And indeed , these were good trucks , trucks like the Dodge ton and Studebaker 2 ton were easily the best trucks available in their class on either side on the Eastern Front . Adding onto that , something like 90 % of soviet rail production came from the united states , to make up for the rail losses they faced in the early war . Equally important to the trucks , the food that America gave to the soviets in lend lease . Most of the major food producing regions of the soviets were under German occupation for most of the war , and it is safe to say that without American food , mass famine would have occurred . 1 . 75 million tons of food is no small amount after all . Even after all of that , in pure military equipment , the amount given by lend lease is nothing to scoff at . 12 , 000 armored vehicles including 7 , 000 tanks , about 1 , 386 of which were M 3 Lees and 4 , 102 M 4 Shermans 11 , 400 aircraft 4 , 719 of which were Bell P 39 Airacobras . Arguably not as good as soviet tanks , but early in the war they needed all the help they could get . That ' s not even to go into the sheer amount of raw materials America gave the Soviets in lend lease .
