Lend-Lease for "Truth"

291
“All this led to a weakening of our defenses and put the Soviet Union in mortal danger. Here the question is relevant: how to get out of this more than unfavorable situation? I think that there is only one way out of this situation: to create already this year a second front somewhere in the Balkans or in France that could pull 30-40 German divisions from the eastern front, and at the same time provide the Soviet Union with 30 thousand tons of aluminum to early October d. and monthly minimum assistance of 400 aircraft and 500 tanks (small or medium). Without these two types of assistance, the Soviet Union will either be defeated or weakened to the point that it loses its ability to provide assistance to its allies for a long time by its active actions on the front of the struggle against Hitlerism. ”

Lend-Lease for "Truth"

British schoolgirls rejoice when they get for breakfast scrambled eggs from egg powder with bacon, delivered under a lend-lease from the USA. London, 1941 year




Lend-Lease Numbers. The subject of Lend-Lease deliveries on the pages of "VO" seems to have received quite a worthy reflection, but no-no, yes, among the comments, there are references to "payment in gold", Mongolian meat (more significant than the American stew) and all sorts of other mythological statements , testifying only about one thing - lack of information. That is, people write nonsense not from evil and not because of their intellectual inferiority, but out of ignorance. Well, they used the wrong sources ... But what sources are "those"?

It should be noted here that everyone wrote about Lend-Lease in the USSR era - from Marshal Zhukov to Yakovlev, an aircraft designer. I wrote about him and TSB, and eight-NEED BOO (Soviet Military Encyclopedia). However, if you look at which documents which of them referred to, you will not find any mention, and no one (!) About the most probably important source of information on this topic, namely, the message of the Soviet government “On the supply of weapons, strategic weapons to the Soviet Union raw materials, industrial equipment and foodstuffs of the United States, Britain and Canada ”, published by the press organ of the Central Committee of the CPSU (b) Pravda newspaper on 11 June 1944. And then the question immediately arises: why didn't all these people refer to this official document? Why did not refer the same Zhukov? Did not know about him (funny even to think this) or afraid? But then what was the famed commander afraid of: an official source? True, in conversations with the same writer K.M. Simonov, he said something quite different. But words, even if recorded on a tape, are words, nothing more.

Interestingly, in N. Voznesensky’s book, The Military Economy of the USSR during the Patriotic War, the Western allies said that they were only 4% of Soviet production. But a recent ally in the anti-Hitler coalition was called: "The monopoly capitalism of the United States that was overweight on people's blood during the Second World War", which "now stands at the head of the imperialist and anti-democratic camp and became the imperialist pioneer in all parts of the world." Voznesensky himself, it is true, was later shot and his book was withdrawn from the libraries, but this figure remained in our historiography!

Well then - ignorance is always treated with what? Knowledge! And since most of the readers of “VO” did not have much time to turn to the newspaper “Pravda” (as well as to the magazines “Rodina”, “Military history magazine”, the journal “Questions stories"," History of the Russian state and law "and the magazine" USA and Canada "), that is, the meaning of this information to give.

So get ready: we have an interesting document in front of us!

Deliveries from the USA


To begin with, the message “On Supply ...” mentions three countries separately: these are the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. It is emphasized that deliveries from the USA and Great Britain were carried out on the basis of the “Agreement on mutual deliveries, credit and payment arrangements” from August 16 1941 of the year, as well as on the basis of the “Agreement on the financing of military supplies and other military aid” from 27 June 1942, they came from Canada on the basis of the Canadian Mutual Assistance Act of Canada.

The first part of the message was taken away, of course, by the United States and it was stated that for the period from October 1 1941 and April 30 to 1944 in the USSR, under lend-lease (then “Lend-Lease” was written with a capital letter) 8,5 million tons of weapons, as well as strategic raw materials, food and industrial equipment worth 5.357 million dollars. But it was immediately clarified that out of all this quantity only 7,4 mln. Tons actually arrived in the USSR, and the sum itself turned out to be less — 4 612 mln. Dollars. Cited and the dynamics of supply: 1941 - 42. - 1.2 mln. Tons, 1943 g. - 4.1 mln. Tons and for 4 month 1944 g. - 2.1 mln. Tons. It was even reported the number of shipped cargo in transit on 1 in May 1944 g. - "by ship in the 68,4 route thousand t Moreover, it must be remembered that deliveries did not stop on 11 June 1945 of the year, and that they and 8 May 1945 of the year still continued and ended only after the end of the war with Japan ...

At the time of publication of this message in Pravda, 6 430 aircraft were received from the USA and, moreover, on account of the obligations of the UK, 2 442 aircraft; tanks - 3 734; minesweepers - 10; large submarine hunters - 12; and cars - 206 771. Here, in the text of the “Message ...”, the following note should be inserted: “during the war years, Soviet industry gave 265,6 vehicles thousands of cars to the front, and about 340 thousands were assembled from the Lend-lease kits. Well, all lend-lease supplies amounted to 427,5 thousand auto. After all, everything is relative, isn't it? However, other means of military mechanized transport were also supplied (the text of the “Message ...” does not specify what it was, but there were excellent articles by Roman Skomorokhov on the “VO”) - 5 397 units; motorcycles - 17 017; anti-aircraft guns - 3 168; guns "Oerlikon" - 1 111 (and again we recall that the "Oerlikon" went to the air defense of ships, that it became modern with their supply); shells - 22,4 million; cartridges - 991,4 million; gunpowder - 87.9 thousand; toluene, trinitrotoluene and ammonite - 130 ths. tons; field telephone wire - 1229 thou. km; telephone sets - 245 thousand; army boots - 5.5 million pairs; Army cloth - 22,8 million yards; tire covers - 2 073 thousand pcs. That is, we even received army cloth from the USA, and we certainly needed it. And the shoes? A total of USSR Lend Lease got their 15 417 000 pairs. Ponder this figure and remember the number of the Red Army ... You barely move your bare feet ...

Among the necessary strategic raw materials were supplied: high-octane aviation fuel (aviation gasoline and isooctane) - 476 thousand tons: aluminum and duralumin - 99 thousand tons: copper and its products - 184 thousand tons: zinc - 42 thousand tons .; nickel - 6.5 thousand tons; steel and steel products - 1 thousand tons: of which rails with fastenings - 160 thousand tons. Here again, it should be noted that the oil industry of the USSR in 246 worked unsatisfactorily and for the year of the war could satisfy the need of the People's Commissariat of Defense for aviation only 1941% for gasoline, 26,6% for diesel fuel; aviation oils - only 11,1%

However, perhaps the most important value had the machines, without which we ourselves could not have started the production of perfect military equipment. The “Message ...” indicates how many of them were delivered: - 20 380 pcs. machine tools; various industrial equipment - in the amount of 257. 2 million dollars, including power equipment with a total capacity of 288 thousand kW., Including also 263 mobile power plants with a total capacity of 39 thousand kW; equipment for 4-x refineries and for the aluminum rolling plant; 4 138 marine engines with a total capacity of 1 768,7 thousand l / s; 2 718 presses and mechanical hammers; 524 Crane. 209 excavator and for the needs of railway transport - 241 steam engines, cargo platforms - 1 154., Tanks for acid transport - 80 pcs. It should be added here that the equipment for the USSR refineries was extremely necessary, because we had oil, but there was always a shortage of production capacity for its distillation. The same was true of aluminum. The only plant for its production, although it continuously increased its output, never for the entire war on 100% did its production plan meet and aluminum was not enough for the aircraft factories. Lacked and rolled aluminum. So the supply of equipment for the production of all this was very important.

Food was supplied in quantities of 2 119 thousand tons. By the way, what was the food benefit? Yes, the fact that it was ... the easiest to write off! The fact is that everything that was lost during the war as a result of hostilities was not subject to payment under the contract. But ... it was necessary to document how “it” was lost. And with food was very simple - “eaten” and that was it!

Supplies from the UK


Then came the second part, which gave details of shipments from the UK. And it was stated that deliveries of Great Britain to the USSR began from 22 June 1941. And starting from this date and until 30 April 1944, Great Britain sent 1 150 thousand tons of weapons to the USSR, as well as strategic raw materials, industrial equipment and food. It is emphasized that this number of 319 thous. Tons of weapons went in the order of military assistance, that is, it was not subject to payment; 815 thous. Tons of raw materials, industrial equipment and food in the amount of 83,7 million f. cr. was sent on the basis of the "Agreement between the USSR and the UK on mutual deliveries, credit and payment procedure from 16 August 1941 g." (part on credit, part in cash); and a small consignment of cargo (2 thousand tons on 0.5 million f. p.) was acquired at the very beginning of the war for cash. Of this total, the USSR received 1 044 thousand tons, including 1941 y. - 158 thousand tons. In 1942 year - 375 thousand tons. 1943 year - 364 thousand tons. And for 4 months 1944 - 144 thousand tons. On the 1 of May 1944, on the way to the USSR there were 44 thousand tons of cargo. So people are not right who say that the main volume of supplies came at the end of the war, but “at first there was nothing”. It was! Although, of course, volumes increased over time.

The specific delivery figures given in the “Message ...” are as follows: 3 384 of the aircraft and, moreover, another 2 of the 442 of the aircraft was delivered from the United States against the obligations of the United Kingdom; 4 292 tank; 12 minesweepers; 5 239 vehicles and armored personnel carriers; 562 anti-aircraft guns; 548 anti-tank guns; 17 million shells, 290 ammo million units, 17,3 powder tonnes; 214 artillery control radio; 116 submarine detection instruments.

The following strategic raw materials were supplied: rubber - 103,5 thousand tons, aluminum - 35,4 thousand tons, copper - 33,4 thousand tons, tin - 29,4 thousand tons, lead - 47,7 thousand tons, zinc - 7,4 ths tons, nickel - 2,7 ths tons, cobalt - 245 tons; jute, sisal and products made from them - 93 thousand tons. (Here I would like clarifications, which, however, are not - products made from jute and sisal is what? Ropes, twine, bags ... It would be interesting to find out, because 93 thousand. tons - this is a huge number, however, what is behind it?)

For the Soviet industry from England was delivered: machine tools - 6491, various industrial equipment in the amount of 14,4 million f. pages, including: power equipment with a total capacity of 374 thousand kW., 15 084 electric motors, 104 press and hammer, 24 portal cranes, industrial diamonds on 1 206 thousand f. p. Foodstuffs delivered in quantities of 138, 2 thousand tons. It should be emphasized that the USSR did not produce technical diamonds at all and had no own deposits either, they had not yet been discovered!

Deliveries from Canada


The third section "Messages ..." Deliveries to the USSR from Canada. It was reported that from the beginning of the war until 1 in July 1943, deliveries of the USSR from Canada were made in the account of the obligations of Great Britain and under a loan agreement between the USSR and Canada from 8 of September 1942. From 1 July 1943, Canada began to supply the USSR independently, in accordance with the Canadian Mutual Assistance Act of Canada.

From the beginning of deliveries on 30 on April 1944, Canada sent 450 thousand tons to the Soviet Union, including weapons, strategic materials and foodstuffs (wheat and flour) in the amount of Canadian dollars 187,6 million. On account of the English obligations (up to 1 July 1943 of the year) 93 thousand tons of cargo were sent for the amount of Canadian dollars 116,6 million; under the Loan Agreement between the USSR and Canada - 182 thous. tons of wheat and flour worth 10 million Canadian dollars and in accordance with the United Nations Mutual Assistance Act - from July 1 1943 of April to 30 April 1944 of the Year - 175 thousand tons of cargo in the amount of 61 million Canadian dollars. Of the goods shipped by Canada to the USSR arrived: 355 thousand tons. In 1942 year - 125 thousand tons., In 1943 year - 124 thousand tons. For 4 of the month 1944 of the year - 106 thousand tons.

Total delivered: 1 188 tanks; 842 armored personnel carrier; 2 568 trucks; 827 thousand shells; 34,8 million ammo; 5 thousand tons of gunpowder; 36,3 thousand aluminum; 9,1 kt lead; 23,5 thousand tons of copper; 6,7 thousand tons of zinc; 1 324 tons of nickel; 13,3 thousand tons of rails, 208,6 thousand tons of wheat and flour. On 1 in May 1944, from the route from Canada to the Soviet Union is still 60 thousand tons of cargo.

Source - the press organ of the Communist Party of the USSR


Now let's think a bit: today there are other numbers on the Internet and printed sources that give an idea of ​​the volume of supplies as a whole, and not just for the May 1944 of the year. But ... in the USSR, this information was classified. But the newspaper "Pravda" no one has canceled. It was the official organ of the press of the Central Committee of the CPSU (b), and then the Central Committee of the CPSU. Suppose that before 1953 of the year, that is, until Stalin’s death, historians did not use this source for reasons of personal safety. But then the “thaw” came, “Ivan Denisovich’s One Day” was published ... But for some reason and then there were no references to this source, neither in the same Zhukov, nor in other memoirs. And historians also wrote about 4%, but for some reason they didn’t look at Pravda, which was freely available. Or they were recommended not to look into it. And if this is so, then this means only one thing: that there was a deliberate deception of the country's population, who was simply lied about important points in its history. It is clear that this information would be kept in secret departments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense. Then, as they say, to no and no trial. Everything is secret. But in this case, everything was in plain sight, but ... it was impossible to use it. That is, the truth about the war in the USSR fell victim to the political ambitions of its leadership, which ultimately undermined the confidence of the people in the existing system in the country and in the leadership itself, which led to the 1991 events of the year. People don’t like being deceived by their bosses, and they never loved them ...

But Belarus and Ukraine helped out for free ...


By the way, here it is worth making another interesting addition. The fact is that back in August 1945, the UN adopted a program of assistance to such Soviet republics as Ukraine and Belarus. The amount of assistance in monetary terms amounted to 250 million dollars. Provided for the supply of food, clothing, footwear, medicines, seeds, industrial and agricultural equipment. First, the supplies were to be paid for, that is, in essence, it was a loan. However, after representatives of the BSSR declared that, in accordance with the USSR Constitution, the republic does not have foreign currency and that only the government of the USSR controls all the currency in the country, all payments under this program for these two republics were canceled, and all deliveries that ended by May 1947 years, implemented completely free of charge.

Interesting isn't it? We will now have to go and see again the “Truth” during this time: what did she write about this foreign aid? And did she write at all?

The Baltic states were part of the USSR until the very end, Vyborg remained part of the Russian Federation, can you see on the map what the Soviet Union gave up? I'm very interested

          Well, of course, the soldiers of the Red Army, paid in blood, conducting hostilities with the Nazis. And without supplies, this blood would be much larger.
          In the United States, they made a simple calculation: all (supposed) Lend-Lease deliveries cost less than one year of war by the Americans. Approaching victory in this way, they saved money and the lives of their citizens (along with ours).
          Mutually beneficial situation.
          The first deliveries were exactly like purchases (they were paid for), and from the fall-winter of 1941 - according to Lend-Lease. That is almost free. Payment (or return) was subject only to unused equipment, weapons and ammunition.
          With payment, the leadership of the Union did not behave very nicely (IMHO), greatly stretching in time and reducing payments.

        And our people paid - BLOOD! And the lives of Soviet citizens.

        After all, our people have saved the lives of Americans and British with their lives. We fought! The second front was opened in 1944.

        Resented by the falsification of history and its distortion, some authors nevertheless prefer to be guided not by facts, but by their own ideas about it.
        For example, the US participation in the Second World War. I believe that exposing myths with one hand is not worth creating new ones with some .. Some publications give the impression that before the opening of the second front in 1944, the USA did not fight at all but profited from the mountain of others .. This, to put it mildly, is not so, since December 1941 the Americans fought a war with Japan at the Pacific Theater, and it is far from always successful. In addition, already in February 1942 they landed in Tunisia, where, together with the British, they finished off the Italo-German group. And finally, in the midst of the battle on the Kursk Bulge, the landing of American troops on the island of Sicily began, followed by the offensive inland .... And only then the landing in Normandy ..... Something like this ...
        And yet, speaking of Lend-Lease deliveries, we should not forget that after the catastrophic losses of the initial period of the Second World War, we had every tank and plane counted - as they say, a spoon for dinner ....
        My father, who had met the war as an ordinary, didn’t complain about English shoes, he wore sturdy shoes, there were seams with boots, and as you know, in our climate you can’t get a lot of barefoot and shoes are not the last thing in the war.
        Therefore, being justly proud of their victories, one should not fall into extreme forms of jingoistic patriotism and go beyond the bounds of objectivity.

          Landing on the island of Sicily or: "Operation Husky." It was preceded by a brilliant operation of British intelligence: "minced meat", when a body in an English officer's uniform with secret documents was planted on the Spanish coast: supposedly the landing would be in Greece. Such successful intelligence operations are not very a lot of

        But that’s not even the point. The author here seems to be trying to make good pragmatists from ideal pragmatists - idealists, and fools from readers of VO. It was this kind of propaganda that led to the fall of the USSR, and not withholding figures for aid from abroad. Healthy again, we get the same alphabet for 4 soldiers.
        The truth is that Lend-Lease deliveries were extremely beneficial for the sender.
        For remember. NEVER. A capitalist will never invest in an event without profit if it is not complete (censored). Marx was 300% right in this regard.
        This allowed to get a lot of nishtyakov. First of all - instead of the Americans and the British, the USSR carried the main burden of military operations with Germany. Neither could neither repeat Stalingrad. The people are not the same. Secondly, the US industry has literally risen from the ruins of the crisis, unemployment has become zero. And it is thanks to these measures that the real winner, that is, the beneficiary of the second world steel of the United States. Everything else is rubbish of numbers, designed to devalue our victory and magnify it clear who. I won’t even paint everything - it’s all well-known and languages ​​and fingers have already been erased to write about what both sides received. It was beneficial to both parties. For this reason, Land Liz existed. Two things can be said about the quality of American soldiers who bore the brunt of the war with Japan. Our army in the 45th withdrew the Japanese army, undefeated for several years by the Americans, in two weeks. Two weeks, Karl!
        And if you're interested, add the details of their "heroic" landing in Europe. So thanks for the financial assistance and the second front (opened two years after it was needed), but let's assess it realistically. The main contribution to the military victory over fascism was made by the USSR and the Russian people.
        In such articles, you must write in capital letters in the title: Propaganda.

          Lend-Lease deliveries were extremely beneficial for the sender.
          So no one argues. We developed our already developed industry even more. They left the war in a much better condition than they entered it.

              won the second world - is not it so? We were left with a strong army, but destroyed by industry and agriculture, and a devastated territory. But the only country left over the ocean which, as a result of the war, has not lost anything, but, on the contrary, has gained a lot. So alas, we won, but they won.

                No not like this. The USSR also won. Objectively. Almost half of Europe has become socialist. The colonial order was destroyed, the British Empire ceased to exist, then there was Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Angola and much more. All these are also the consequences of the 2nd World War. It is unlikely that this would have been possible in a peaceful environment and the USSR would not have come out of isolation.
                But the elderly leadership of the USSR since the late 70s profuched everything.

                Sorry my European hearing loss, but please explain:
                - Was Lend-Lease imposed on the Union? We had to take everything that they wanted to "sell" to us, tlt Uncle Joe, for the sake of a wagon of gold?
                Or maybe Joe and I could refuse these supplies, send Uncle Sam and Co. away, and calmly get to Berlin. Let a little later, let another minus a couple lyamov souls, but themselves - honestly.

                - We lost about 10 million lives in the warfare (+ - 10 million). But they got half of Europe, Gagarin .... and the fact that even penguins learned about the power of the USSR (I am silent about Cuba ......

          First of all - instead of the Americans and the British, the USSR carried the main burden of military operations with Germany. Neither could neither repeat Stalingrad.
          We know little about the war in the Pacific Ocean, but here are probably similar operations, and at about the same time: Defense of Crimea and Sevastopol 1941-1942, more precisely October 30, 1941 - July 4, 1942 and the Malay operation at the same time: As a result of the Malay operation, lasted just over a month and a half, British troops suffered a crushing position and completely left the territory of the Malacca Peninsula. 5,5 thousand British and Australian soldiers were killed, another 5 thousand people were wounded, 40 thousand were captured. The losses of the Japanese side were much less large-scale - 1,8 thousand killed and 3,4 thousand wounded soldiers and officers. The vast and wealthy British Malaya came under Japanese control. But the main strategic victory of Japan in this region was ahead - the Japanese command could not feel calm until Singapore, the most important naval base of the British Commonwealth forces, was captured. And the defense of Singapore, a first-class naval base, lasted just over a week. It was possible to free Singapore from the Japanese only after the final defeat of Japan in World War II. "And our troops liberated Crimea and Sevastopol a year before the end of the war on May 9, 1944. More precisely, this is the date of the capture of Sevastopol, the last stronghold of the Germans in Crimea.

              Lend-Lease figures. The topic of Lend-Lease deliveries on the VO pages seems to have received quite a worthy reflection, but no, no, but among the comments there are references to “paying with gold”, Mongolian meat (more significant than American stew) and all sorts of other mythological statements , indicating only one thing - the lack of information.


              Then can you tell me where the horses are from?
              1. In November-December 1941, during the offensive near Moscow, almost a quarter of Soviet divisions were cavalry.
              In the Berlin operation involved 12 horse divisions, almost 100 thousand cavalry.
              It would be much more difficult to deliver live cargo (horses) to the belligerent USSR by sea than the rest of the Lend-Lease.

              2. The food assistance of the Red Army, provided by the small population and economically weak Mongolia, was almost equal to the supply of food from the United States. If the American side delivered 665 thousand tons of canned food to the Soviet Union, then Mongolia provided 500 thousand tons of meat for the needs of the front. https://topwar.ru/74604-pomosch-stepey-mongoly-vernye-soyuzniki-velikoy-otechestvennoy.html

              If Hitler defeated the USSR, then Germany would have received enormous resources at the disposal of numerous new allies - Turkey, Iran and many others. Supporters of Nazism were enough. Then America would have to be really tight. They would have had to almost single-handedly fight world Nazism, no less, and the Amers had practically no chance to win such a war.

English gunpowder of that winter was not included in the Lend-Lease, England was on the verge of bankruptcy, 40% in currency or gold at once, the rest of the loan for 5 years. The share of imported gunpowder, as well as all supplies, is the "average temperature in the hospital". We are talking about a critical moment of the winter of 1941-1942, the spool is small and expensive, it was possible to lose the war at that moment, and then these stupid disputes would not exist at all.

The British Azdik-129 sonar specially developed for submarines had characteristics that significantly outstripped our most successful developments: the detection range in active mode was 4-12 kbt, noise control - 30-40 kbt, sound-underwater communication - 40-50 kbt, determination error: distance - I% of the distance, heading angle in active mode - 5 degrees, noise direction finding - 2 degrees. - ninety-six sets of Azdik-129, received seventy.In our fleet they received the designation "Dragon-129".

Being behind the well-fortified defensive lines of Siegfried and Maginot, the warring parties only occasionally watered the enemy’s side with fire. This period can be considered a weakness or a miscalculation of the forces of Britain and France. They had more soldiers at their disposal than the German army, but they did absolutely nothing.
        You still remember the French. Those were enough for exactly 5 days of the offensive. Subject to the absolute non-resistance of the Germans.
        Even a plane with German headquarters and maps that accidentally fell into the hands of the "allies" did not lead to any reaction.
        Is it because de facto it was England that gave carte blanche to Hitler to conquer Europe and sent it to the USSR? What are the British doing? In 1940, the British were the first to launch an air strike against Freiburg and civilians. Ingenious!
        Hitler is bombing London. Not at full strength.
        Weak attempt to thwart offensive in Norway. Frank failures in naval warfare. And the frenzied battle for the colonies in Africa. Well this is your own, not allies in eastern Europe.
        If. If the Fuhrer did not decide to fight the USSR instead of England, then England would not have survived. But a miracle happened. And the British relaxed a bit.
        And with what fright the USSR was supposed to help Britain in the war with Germany, I don’t understand at all. Prior to this, the USSR tried to build a European security system against Hitler. But the same Britain and France blocked all attempts. I would suggest that the Führer was counting on the fulfillment of certain agreements. Before it's too late. Britain itself dug a hole and pull the thankless task out of it by the British. Moreover, it’s never a friendly regime. Which developed plans for an attack on the USSR before the end of World War II. On the allies, Karl! Worse than hostility with the Anglo-Saxons can only be friendship with them.

          They themselves indicated that Britain and France had 48 divisions, and the enemy had 42 divisions in excellently fortified positions. And as Soviet textbooks teach us, you need three-fold superiority for the offensive. Where do you see him here? But British troops reached the border with Germany when Poland was already completely destroyed, and thus a bunch of divisions along excellent German railway roads went to the aid of these 42 divisions. Any offensive is normal and France would have fallen half a year earlier and all events would have greatly accelerated. What would be extremely sad for the USSR

          Oh yeah! While England was fighting. [/ Quote] An illustrative example, though already at the end of WWII, is the German offensive in the Ardennes: "70 years ago, in December 1944, Nazi Germany made the last radical attempt to turn the tide of the war. The offensive in the Ardennes. I must say, the Western After the landing in Normandy and on the Mediterranean coast, British and American troops advanced rapidly, liberating all of France, Holland, Belgium, but in September 1944, reaching the German borders, they suddenly stalled. Eisenhower's headquarters explained this by stretching communications, the need to replenish ammunition and fuel. But the "respite" dragged on for three months! And why not drag out? The Allies fulfilled their promise to open a "second front", but the Russians were still left to finish off the Nazis and shed blood. position - to stand still and be ready to intervene later when it is easier ...
          The German command began to receive alarming reports from the east. Initially, the Soviet armies planned an offensive in Poland on January 20, and in Prussia on February 8. But after the Allies begged for help, Stalin turned to the front commanders, would they be able to start early? However, he stipulated that the postponement should not disrupt our plans and lead to unjustified losses. Having weighed all the factors, the Soviet command found it possible to somewhat reduce training, to strike on January 12-15. But even before the rumbling of Soviet guns and "Katyushas", the Germans guessed that they were about to get hot. The reserves intended for the development of a breakthrough in the Ardennes, they had to turn in the opposite direction. "This is how the battles went in Western Europe and how our troops helped the allies. Https://topwar.ru/67271-bitva-v-ardennah.htmlhttps: //topwar.ru/67271-bitva-v-ardennah.html [quote = Foxmara]

              1) Proposal for the establishment of the UN Armed Forces
              2) Enhanced cooperation between the WB and the USA
              A special relationship already exists between the USA and Canada and the South American republics. We also have a 20-year cooperation and mutual assistance agreement with Russia

              3)
              A shadow fell on the picture of the world so recently illuminated by the victory of the Allies. No one knows what Soviet Russia and its international communist organization intend to do in the near future and what are the limits, if any, of their expansionist and reversal tendencies.

              We understand that Russia needs to ensure the security of its western borders from the possible resumption of German aggression. We are glad to see her in her rightful place among the leading world powers. We salute her flag on the seas. And above all, we welcome the constant, frequent and growing ties between the Russians and our peoples on both sides of the Atlantic

              5)
              I do not believe that Russia wants war. What she wants is the fruits of war and the unlimited spread of her power and doctrines. But what we should think about here today, while there is still time, is the prevention of wars forever and the creation of conditions for freedom and democracy as soon as possible in all countries

              6)
              We need to achieve a settlement, and the more time it takes, the more difficult it will go and the more formidable our dangers will be. From what I observed in the behavior of our Russian friends and allies during the war, I came to the conclusion that they respect nothing as strength and have less respect for anything than military weakness

                        Frankfurt am Main - more than 80% of buildings, Würzburg more, Düsseldorf too - just a few raids, and Dresden for two, in my opinion. Of course it made sense — a mobilization reserve, industry — even the textile, railway, Nazi party centers, etc. Cheto no one ever in Stalingrad with 50 thousand inhabitants destroyed by German aviation (4th Air Army, EMNIP, does not remember).
                        From the Soviet side - Stalin promised democratic elections in Eastern Europe to Churchill - Roosevelt didn’t care for that, for example, then exchanged it for Greece - like the British to the Greeks, to us Poles (in fact, it was not the atomic bomb that played the role, but the lack of a strong fleet - vigorous loaf was in single copies). The financial support of the Communist Parties of Western Europe, Canada and the United States, which none of the leaders there liked. The blockade of West Berlin and much more. Everything was muddy there.

                        Stop stop stop. Yes, you already wondered:
                        Würzburg: The end of the war, the remnants of the Luftwaffe fend off the onslaught of the Soviet Air Force in the east, the Royal British Air Force approach the matter thoroughly and without fuss: the first blow is with high-explosive bombs that tear down roofs of houses and knock windows in a radius of several kilometers. Subsequent - tons of incendiary bombs. “Fire storm” - thousands of living people, only a small part of whom are military, and more and more women with children, burn down alive. Würzburg “was primarily chosen because it was easy for bombers to find and destroy. Because he had a medieval center - he had to be especially vulnerable to the attacks of the elements of fire, "the British version of Wiki explains busily. British losses - two planes ... Yeah, exactly how mobilization centers were chosen
                        Dusseldorf was bombed, and he didn’t get much, that’s right. The fate of Dusseldorf is comparable to other cities in Germany in World War II. The first bombs fell on the city in 1940. Beginning in 1942, the bombardment reached its climax: the August 1 air attack destroyed a significant (erroneous say: LARGE!) Part of the city. By the end of the war, nine heavy air attacks inflicted very severe damage or even destroyed half of the city’s buildings and landscape.
                        About ten percent of all buildings remained intact (safe and sound). But, contrary to the mention of 90% destruction by someone, every second house was seriously damaged.
                        Frankfurt am Main bombing is a series of Allied bombing raids during World War II. As a result of the raids, half of the city's residential buildings (90) were destroyed. The historical (medieval) city center was completely destroyed. Losses among the civilian population amounted to approximately 000 residents killed, among which was Princess Maria Alexandra of Baden
                        Those. Do not compare with Dresden in any way and the percentage is much lower than you specified.
                        And now about the wonderful causes of the Cold War. Are you seriously? This was the cause of the war - the promised elections and support for the Communist Parties? This is a gobble cause. And how do you get along with the assembled and armed SS divisions in Bison? There has not yet been talk of elections and the support of the Communist Parties.
                        And how it gets along with you, you drown me in a dispute over Putin with his economy and announce your satisfaction with prices in the Krasnodar Territory that you adore, then you urge us to thank the amers and their shelupon gang of war-racers, for Lend-Lease!

                        1) I'm not lying, but you - Würzburg was first bombed by mistake instead of Schweinfurt, where the tank factory was)). Less copy-paste - I lived in this very Würzburg, so I know its history laughing The first time Wurzburg was bombed instead of Schweinfurt in July 44th, continued bombing in December of that year - half of the German fighter aircraft were on the defensive of Germany at that time, and in March there was a blow to their future zone of occupation)). So sho by wink About interest - this town is smaller than Dresden, and more than 80 percent were destroyed - so that’s comparable. The townspeople consider the reason for this to be the choice of Würzburg as the place where Hitler wanted to retire - still because of this, every May XNUMXst, neo-Nazis come from different parts of Germany for the march - under very tight guard by the police. But many Germans are trying to make themselves victims of a war that they themselves started and whimper about the crimes of the West against their cities and the East against their Froilians.
                        As for the Cold War, the parties did not trust each other. Churchill was afraid of the expansion of the USSR into Eastern Europe - from there the landing in Sicily in 43rd. The fact that the SS-Vvets were armed in the year 46 are dodges, of course. This was done after the Soviet Union suspended the supply of agricultural products to West Germany, and in the 49th this area was already called Trizonia - the Britons, Amers and Franks united their occupation zones - further the blockade of West Berlin, etc. In addition, in the 46th the Communist Party of France and the communist cells in Northern Italy received Soviet aid in full.
                        Putin, Krasnodar Territory and Lend-Lease - laughing Horses mixed in a bunch, people ...
                        1) The Russian economy after 2014 does not make me happy - I hope for the Amers war with Iran and the rise in oil prices.

                        No, you are lying, comparing these cities with Dresden. who dared for two raids, about the second they suspect that it was done to kill more rescuers. These same cities bombed more gradually, and more than half of the houses remained only spoiled and even whole. But the fact of such bombing of small towns is a clear war crime unjustified by nothing.
                        Now about the Cold War, what you cite as a Soviet contribution to its development is zashkvar. You never know which politicians did not like the presence of the USSR in the Eastern European cause for unleashing this is clearly not, moreover, it is logical in everything. To unleash a war because of this, especially after such a WWII crime against humanity. The Italian and French Communists received some help. and not with might and main. And at this time, the Britons and the Americans mastered the German and Italian colonies, so what?
                        And not Putin. Krasnodar Territory and Lend-Lease mixed in a bunch, and your funny opinions. In our recent dispute over the economy, you proved to be a patriot, and right now drown as a real liberal. The nature of the Jew is two-faced and you are proof of this. Alas. And it was precisely about this, and not about prices in the Krasnodar Territory, that was one of the branches of our then dispute. A helpful Jew is sitting in you right now. trying to lick amers and brits for a land lease. But this is a licking of incendiaries demanding from us to respect those who not only helped us, but also rendered it to the Reich right up to the invasion of Normandy. Once again, the nature of Jewry is funny)))))

                        2) They suggest about the second raid on Dresden, they guess about the first - they tested the Carpet bombing on the road junction and hit the Germans on the mobilization resource - and that’s it. The crime? Yes. Against criminals? Yes too. Mirnyak is sorry. Do they feel sorry for the Soviet, Polish and English peacemen, when everything went well with them - I do not think))
                        3) Then you copy-paste about the demolished Würzburg - then talk about half of the whole houses laughing For your information - only the city center was more or less restored by 1964 - so do not need a lala. Frankfurt was also demolished by more than 80% - not like Dresden, from one bombing - but also.
                        4) Neo-Nazis march in the beloved city of the Fuhrer - most likely because in March it was demolished.
                        5) Is Zashkvar a hairdryer? )))
                        I didn’t understand from what I read, after our supplies of agricultural products to West Germany were suspended - what was the crime - the Cold War, or what? The armament of the SS-vts is, of course, the rest is garbage.
                        6) Well, Mercedes was not allocated to each of them, but how they could - financed)) Their leaders were enough for idleness and printing of newspapers. Meanwhile, the States began to work out the plan of Marshall. I’m not saying that they are better, I just show that the sides ran into each other.
                        7) What is a cheer patriot and who is, in your opinion, a liberal? lol
                        8) The nature of the Jew is two-faced - tell me again - they are thieving, begging and “knocking”)
                        9) Lick amers and Britons - on a fig? )))))) And where does the Jew? When someone needs three pennies, they specialize in licking so much that I give money more so as not to see these people ever, because I know in advance that they will wash off for joy - you have this trait, I think - I know better than me wink
                        10) In the sense - helped the Reich? )) Funded, traded? So the USSR traded with Hitler during the "battle for England", for example
                        11) Of course the nature of Jewry is funny - you will have a good laugh)). Prices in Krasnodar suit them - hee hee Fly to Switzerland - then we'll talk about prices in the Krasnodar Territory))

                        About Würzburg, you showed it burned, and I pointed to the remaining half of the buildings in other cities as well. They were bombed for a long time. not just like Dresden. Mirnyak had the opportunity to escape in those cities. leaving a city or bombing area. And a peaceful man always remains a peaceful one.
                        And let's not talk about neo-Nazis, it was the Britons and the Americans who gave us the opportunity to march. And you grieve over the fact that they didn’t do the genocide by hand - your ancestors came up with this thing, so don’t be sorry)))) I will greet Navin for centuries.
                        As for zashkvara, whether he is out of fen, are you so out of date? Although do not expect your zashkvar visible here.
                        Not deliveries of food to western Germany by us - what are you talking about? And weapons ss-tsev- is it just a crime? And what else is considered garbage? Separation of Germany by the introduction of the West German brand? Actions on the mandatory fomentation of war - garbage? Well then your fellow tribesmen howl so much about the infrastructure of the Iranians in Syria?))) And there the Iranians only take their own right, they strengthen the influence deserved in the war.
                        Nafia do you lick amers and Britons? Seeing from the desire to target immodest on the fan in the direction of the USSR and other things. You know better. And how Jews lick their ass, you can not make legends. they are known.
                        You are embarrassed by the info about the US trade with the Reich almost until the very fact of landing in Normandy. supplying strategic raw materials as well? And we do not know everything yet. And how cheaply did they sell our conscience by reproaching us for trading with the Reich during his war with the Britons? They themselves rejected us, and we should have cried for them? And then not all the crimes of the Reich were known and Hitler was not a war criminal.

      Very simple .
      Factories bombed, the army also had repair crews - which lost equipment
      The system was simple - Lend - Liz.
      We lend - losses during hostilities - were not payable, weapons and equipment after the end of the war were subject to return or payment at a sufficient cost.

    Few people know that the first country to officially announce support for the Soviet Union after the start of World War II was Mongolia. The meeting of the Presidium of the People's Khural and the Central Committee of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party took place on the first day of the war, June 22, 1941. It was unanimously decided: to provide comprehensive assistance to the Soviet people in the fight against fascism.
    Mongolia helped the Soviet Union, first of all, by supplying goods. A very important help was the transfer of 500 Mongolian horses to the USSR - strong, hardy, unpretentious animals. Yes, World War II was a war of motors, but horses were used very actively by all warring parties - both in the cavalry and especially as a draft force. Horses at the platoon and company levels were often the only means for relocating artillery, ammunition, and other troops — there weren’t enough trucks! With the funds raised by the citizens of Mongolia, a whole tank column was built! At the same time, all tanks received their own names: “Big Khural”, “From the Council of Ministers of the MPR”, “Suhe Bator”, “Marshal Choibalsan”, “Khatan-Bator Maksarzhav”, “Mongolian Chekist”, “Mongolian Arat”, “From the intelligentsia MPR "and so on. Further more! The Mongols transferred over 000 million rubles and over 2,5 kg of gold to Vneshtorgbank of the USSR. The Mongolian Arat aviation squadron was built with these funds. The Prime Minister of the MPR, Marshal Choibalsan. On behalf of the Soviet Government and my own, I express my heartfelt gratitude to you, and in your person, to the government and people of the Mongolian People’s Republic, who have gathered two million Tugriks to build a squadron of Mongolian Arat combat aircraft for the Red Army, which is waging a heroic struggle against the Nazi invaders. The desire of the MPR workers to build a squadron of Mongolian Arat combat aircraft will be fulfilled, ”Joseph Stalin, telegram dated August 300, 18.

      Mongolia for the USSR was practically the only supplier of sheepskin from which officer short fur coats were sewn. While the Nazis were freezing near Moscow and Stalingrad in their half-woolen field-coat, Soviet soldiers and officers felt comfortable in sheepskin short fur coats from Mongolia. Mongolian wool was also supplied in huge volumes to the USSR, from which greatcoats for soldiers were made. Echelon after echelon, food supplies went to the USSR. According to experts, Mongolia has supplied more wool and meat to the USSR than the USA under Lend-Lease! Here is a list of what was sent in one of the trains from Mongolia to the USSR in November 1942:
      "Short fur coats - 30 115 pieces; felt boots - 30 500 pairs; fur mittens - 31 pairs; fur vests - 257 31 pcs.; soldier belts - 090 33 pcs.; woolen sweatshirts - 300 2 pcs.; fur blankets - 290 2 pcs.; berry jam - 011 12 kg; carcasses of gazelles - 954 pcs .; meat - 26 kg; individual parcels - 758 pcs .; sausage - 316 000 kg; oil - 22 kg. ”But there were dozens of such trains! The Mongols so zealously collected parcels for soldiers of the Red Army that in 176, in several regions of the country, hunger occurred - all food was sent to the USSR.
      Look at the road Ulan Bator - Biysk. It is trodden by millions of cattle, which drove the Mongolian arats to the largest in the USSR, and probably in the world, “Biysk meat-canning factory”. The Biysk meat-canning all the years of the war processed into stew up to 2000 cattle heads DAILY.
      The American stew on the fronts was exotic, and therefore it was remembered. Native "Biysk", from Mongolian meat, everyday life. It is simply not known how the USSR would feed the front without the help of the people of Mongolia.
      During the war, Mongolia voluntarily and gratuitously cleaned out its food resources, then in 1946 a serious famine began in their country. They had to save already.

        The Mongols sincerely supported the Soviet Union not only with commodity supplies. Several thousand volunteers from Mongolia fought in the Red Army. Using their skills as hunters or riders, they became snipers, scouts, or fought in cavalry units. And in August 1945, the Mongol army joined the Far East Red Army and participated in the defeat of Japan. Every tenth soldier in the Far East was a Mongol. Unfortunately, the help of Mongolia and the entire Mongolian people to the Soviet Union today is greatly underestimated. We know a lot about Lend-Lease deliveries, but forget about the support of our eastern neighbor.
        But “an unpretentious Mongolian horse reached Berlin next to a Soviet tank,” General Pliev wrote in his memoirs. Thank you Mongol brothers!

    At the beginning of the war, England itself was on the verge - nothing was missing due to the blockade.
    But it helped us, it doesn’t matter for thanks or pounds, but it helped.
    We fulfilled the agreements with Germany until June 22, Japan supplied Sakhalin oil wars. It was ... And several million hi-vi worked for the Germans. It was...
    They got a lot of things during the war, but there were things, supplies were almost a few tons, but they could not be underestimated - I'm talking about drugs, penicillin and streptocide, whole hospitals, industrial diamonds, metal and fuel additives, such as high-octane gasolines.
    Plus technology, the most advanced.
    All fought, who what. Blood, brains, technology.
    Politics and ideologies were in all countries and peoples. There were also just people and nations.

    After the Fulton speech?

    In a Fulton speech from a hostile USSR, it is only said about the Iron Curtain - which really was a call for the unity of the Anglo-Saxons against "tyranny". Otherwise:
    1) Proposal for the establishment of the UN Armed Forces
    2) Enhanced cooperation between the WB and the USA
    A special relationship already exists between the USA and Canada and the South American republics. We also have a 20-year cooperation and mutual assistance agreement with Russia

    3)
    A shadow fell on the picture of the world so recently illuminated by the victory of the Allies. No one knows what Soviet Russia and its international communist organization intend to do in the near future and what are the limits, if any, of their expansionist and reversal tendencies.

    I deeply admire and honor the valiant Russian people and my wartime comrade Marshal Stalin

    4)
    We understand that Russia needs to ensure the security of its western borders from the possible resumption of German aggression. We are glad to see her in her rightful place among the leading world powers. We salute her flag on the seas. And above all, we welcome the constant, frequent and growing ties between the Russians and our peoples on both sides of the Atlantic

    5)
    I do not believe that Russia wants war. What she wants is the fruits of war and the unlimited spread of her power and doctrines. But what we should think about here today, while there is still time, is the prevention of wars forever and the creation of conditions for freedom and democracy as soon as possible in all countries

    6)
    We need to achieve a settlement, and the more time it takes, the more difficult it will go and the more formidable our dangers will be. From what I observed in the behavior of our Russian friends and allies during the war, I came to the conclusion that they respect nothing as strength and have less respect for anything than military weakness

    And all in that spirit. How hostile this private speech, which Churchill was then, and why they began to consider her the point of reference at the beginning of the Cold War, is unclear.

    The question is more than interesting. Thank you very much for Cherchel’s speech, I heard about it 1000 and 1 times, but had no idea what Churchill said

    Thanks to the author for statistics that help you think.
    It turns out that the depth of the strategic mistakes of the military-political leadership of the USSR in 1941 was deeper than commonly believed. And in 1941 it was enough for the Americans to reduce the volume of Lend-Lease to deprive the USSR of the opportunity to create a dominant army in Europe. It would be enough for active defense, but not for a "liberation campaign". The Americans did not agree to this.

And it was not a competition of modellers - well, what are you going to misinterpret - but the All-Union competition for the best toy for industrial production. And yes - I made a tank freedom fighter comrade Lenin. Yes, I thought with my head, and what kind of crime is this? The tank was good! Be bad no name would save him.

      The USSR did send various goods to the USA (including 320 thousand tons of chrome ore, 32 thousand tons of manganese ore, as well as gold, platinum, wood). This was done as part of the reverse Lend-Lease program. Https: //topwar.ru/1706-lend-liz-mify-i-realnost.html
      This is the sinking in April 1942 of the British cruiser Edinburgh, which transported a valuable cargo of 5500 kg of gold from the USSR to Britain.

    And in 1941, it was enough for the Americans to reduce the volume of Lend-Lease in order to deprive the USSR of the opportunity to create a dominant army in Europe. It would be enough for active defense, but not for a "liberation campaign". The Americans did not agree to this.

    Good information. Just referring to the newspaper Pravda, it would be nice to indicate the sources (or at least the literature) from where the information about Land-Lease was obtained, in addition to the wonderful organ of the CPSU (b). On the Internet, in everyone's favorite Wikipedia, there is an interesting article on this topic: URL: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land-lease#SSSR (Date of access - today). I turned to this article a year ago, today it has not yet been rewritten by "admirers" of history and corresponds to an article a year ago.
    The following picture appears on it: the USSR joined the Land-Lisa program in November 1941. This program itself was adopted by the US Congress in March 1941.
    Negotiations of US Representatives with the Soviet Government on the First Delivery Protocol started on 07.12.1941but were delayed until December 28 due to US entry into the war with Japan.
    Great Britain, even before the USSR was included in the supply program on October 11, 1941, transferred the first 20 British Matilda tanks through Arkhangelsk, which were urgently delivered to the front - near Moscow. (see: the website "Military Review". December 19, 2012: URL: https://topwar.ru/22247-tankovyy-lend-liz-velikobritaniya.html (Date of treatment - 07.07.19). It was a gesture of kind the will of the British government or common sense prevailed in Churchill's head, history is silent. Anyway, thanks to the British for that!
    Thus, even this information, scarce by the standards of historical science, shows that the supply of military equipment and weapons to the USSR began when it became clear to many in the West and the United States that the German "Blitzkrieg" in Russia had failed, the war on the Eastern Front became protracted. , but Russia should help, and then we'll see ... Let me remind you that the counteroffensive of the Red Army near Moscow began on December 5, 1941, when american protocols... Interestingly, did our soldiers and commanders read them in the Pravda newspaper at that time, or were they busy with something else, attaching a bayonet to the Mosin rifle of the 1891/30 model in order to launch a bayonet attack on the Germans on that frosty December morning near Moscow?

    It seems not a little, but considering that the modern largest bulk bulk carriers of the bulk carrier carry from 100 to 400 thousand tons of cargo, it turns out that in the first 18 months of the war, the United States delivered 1,1 million tons of cargo, like an average of 6 modern dry cargo vessels of the Capesize class . In conditions of total war, obviously not the main percentage of what is needed.

    The saddest thing is when people, instead of comprehending information, start thinking in cliches. I have no words just to describe everything that happens in my soul, when you read, for example, "we paid for the lend-lease in blood" and other opuses (by the way, they answered that we were not mercenaries to pay with blood, we are for our country fought). Is it so hard to just stop and think about what was happening at that time?
    Germany attacked our country, the enemy is eager for Moscow, Kiev, Leningrad ... Huge territories have been seized, resources prepared in advance have been partially spent, some have been lost ... the government is taking urgent measures to save the country ... And in this situation, they are turning to the USA England, etc. asking for help. With the request. We are to them. So that they help us ... To those whom a couple of months ago were stigmatized by the damned imperialists and called other bad words. And they helped. Could not help? They could, but they were businessmen and they knew for sure - if they didn’t help here and now then it MAYBLE have to solve this issue themselves ... But they could not help. That was THEIR right. And this very help was most opportune - tanks, trucks, airplanes, metals, petrochemicals, and gunpowder ...
    And now they are beginning to scold them for this ... Why are you scolding? Because we asked them to help and they helped? For the trucks and armored personnel carriers on which we drove to Berlin on their own gasoline? For airplanes and aluminum, from which they themselves made? No, we persistently write in the comments about the Mongolian horses ... Mongolia is a wonderful ally, generous and selfless, without their help it would be very difficult. But would it be easier without Lend-Lease? Maybe, all the same, we will learn to be grateful allies and will respect the memory of our friends, even if they are no longer friends, but weren't those guys who died in the cold Arctic delivering vital cargoes our friends? Have they not perished for our country, having abandoned their warm California and Florida?

    That is, AFTER OUR troops removed the Kwantung army, forcing Japan to capitulate? I honestly am not surprised.
    The only thing we heard was the battle for Britain, when Hitler sent part of his Air Force and here the British were at their best in the literal and figurative sense of the word.
    There are also little-known "exploits" of the British in the Second World War. Fearing to lose influence in India, they staged a real famine there. It is a well-known fact, but for some reason the world community does not like to be sad about this in the same way as about the Holodomor of the USSR, which was not a real famine, but was a general disaster for the country.

    The article is certainly interesting! BUT! The author forgot to add a few more numbers.
    For example these.
    Germany does not have any developed oil fields. Gemania received 60% of the oil used from Romanian fields. And she bought another 40% from “neutral” Spain. But the Spaniards also DO NOT have their own oil. She bought it from Standard Oil. And the best protection for American tankers in the first half of the 40s was the inscription on board in large letters - Standard Oil

      If you delve further into the history of oil production in the 40s, you will discover even more amazing facts. Cir 60%/40% refers to used OIL. Find out about gasoline. So, 85% of Luftwaffe aviation gasoline was not made from oil! 80% of tanks used non-petroleum gasoline. The Kringsmarine mainly ate oil. Gasoline was produced by GA Farben using coal hydration technology. Since 1944, when the Anglo-Saxons began bombing chemical plants in Germany, most beer houses were transferred to the production of gasoline. The Germans didn’t make tanks with diesel engines, not because they were fools and couldn’t. Because diesel fuel required oil, and there was very little of it. Why this digression about oil? So AG Farben has been a division of Stsndard Oil since 1929. The Americans poured 200 billion dollars into it! And you say Lend Lease with a measly 4,9 billion!!! And German trucks are the most popular Opel Blitz. Since 1929, the Opel factories have belonged and still belong to General Motors!!! I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY EVERYONE IS WHINING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF LEND LISA AND IS COMPLETELY SILENT ABOUT THE GIANT MONEY AMERICANS PURCHASED INTO HITLER!!!!!! How could Germany maintain an army if its costs were 35% of GDP? Not the taxes that are collected, but the total sales volume in the country!!!! Only for loans! And who gave them in such quantities? Yes, the one who caused the Great Depression in the rest of the world and redirected capital to impoverished Germany. “War requires only three things: money, money and more money!” And Hitler probably found them in his nightstand?
