NOT TOTAL TRUTH!
Btw all of the Ammo that was ever shot by all sides in WW2 was just 10% of what the Soviet Union had stock piled.
Ummmmmm..... You do know that USA gave $$$TRILLIONS in arms and goods to Russia to stockpile during WW2?
AMERICAN stuff in russia helped defeat germany. Including boots, trucks... everything.
Allied lend-lease aid to the Soviet Union during the Second World War was massive
Most tonnage was raw goods and steel but these are rough counts of some finished goods :
The following table, not an inclusive one by any means, shows the extent of lend-lease aid the Western Allies provided to the Soviet Union from 01 October 1941 to 31 March 1946 (not a typo, aid went on well after WWII ended). CW – Commonwealth contribution; US – American contribution:
Aircraft – 7,411 (CW) + 14,795 (US) = 22.206
Automotive:
— 1.5-ton trucks 151,053 (US)
— 2.5-ton trucks 200,662 (US)
— Willys Jeeps 77,972 (US)
Bren Gun Carriers – 2,560 (CW)
Boots – 15 million pairs (US)
Communications equipment:
— Field phones – 380,135 (US)
— Radios – 40,000 (US)
— Telephone cable – 1.25 million miles (US)
Cotton cloth – 107 million square yards (US)
Foodstuffs – 4,5 million tons (US)
Leather – 49,000 tons (US)
Motorcycles – 35,170 (US)
Locomotives – 1,981 units (US)
Rolling stock – 11,155 units (US)
Tanks – 5,218 (CW) + 7,537 (US) = 12.755
Tractors – 8,701 (US)
Trucks – 4,020 (CW) + 357,883 (US) = 361.903
Russia (who invaded half of Poland, starting the war), had most of its so-called stockpile sent from USA from 01 October 1941 to 31 March 1946.
I thought I knew about WW2 history as well and unfortunately you are wrong. You also probably believe the Blitzkreig was invented by Germany as well?
