What would have happened if there had been no Lend-Lease: facts and myths around aid during the war

One of the themes about the Great Patriotic War, which has managed to acquire a large number of various myths, is the theme of Lend-Lease. These are supplies weapons, uniforms, ammunition, food and equipment in the USSR along the so-called allied line of the anti-Hitler coalition.

It is worth noting that the myth-making around Lend-Lease goes in several directions. Often these directions are opposite to each other. It happens to hear statements that it was Lend-Lease that became "the main factor in the defeat of the Hitlerite army by Soviet troops on the Eastern Front." There are other myths as well. For example, the exact opposite - "Lend-Lease did not play any role at all in the struggle of the Soviet Union against Nazi Germany."

As always, the truth is somewhere in between.

On the YouTube channel "Ears are waving a donkey", they tell important details about Lend-Lease, which many in our country (and not only in ours) simply do not know about. Political scientist Oleg Matveychev talks about the fact that there is no need to think that lend-lease is aid that was sent exclusively to the USSR. If we talk about aid from overseas, then about 70% of it fell within the framework of the same Lend-Lease in the UK. No more than a quarter of the total volume of American Lend-Lease came to the USSR. However, it is still impossible to say that this is a “drop in the ocean”.

Oleg Matveychev's story tells about what routes the aid went to the Soviet Union, what was the volume of this aid, what would have happened if there was no Lend-Lease. The video presents both facts and main myths about aid in the form of Lend-Lease during the war years.

What would have happened if there were no Lend-Lease ...

It would be worse without him than with him.

[Alexander Suvorov]

Perhaps worse, but not as critical as some pseudo-historians are now trying to present. The USSR survived without Lend-Lease in the toughest period of 1941-1943, and the Battle of Moscow and the Battle of Stalingrad took place without the main supplies under the Lend-Lease, the main supplies began at the end of 43. So there is no need to exaggerate this boring story about Amerzos "help". Suffice it to recall that the Nazis received about the same help from the Amerzos up to their landing in Normandy.

Stalin makes a toast at Churchill's birthday:

“I want to tell you what, from the Soviet point of view, the President and the United States have done to win the war. The most important things in this war are the machines. The United States has proven that it can produce 8,000 to 10,000 aircraft a month. Russia can produce at most 3000 planes a month. England produces 3000-3500 a month, mostly heavy bombers. So the United States is a country of machines. Without these machines, supplied under Lend-Lease, we would have lost this war. "

This is a speech in Tehran in 1943

Stalin’s words were documented in the daily journal of the President of the United States during the Tehran Conference, which was published in the 1961 American collection on page 469. The toast of the head of the Soviet delegation was included in the journal as the most interesting event of the gala dinner on the evening of November 30, 1943.

"I want to tell you, from the Soviet point of view, what the President and United States have done to win the war. The most important things in this war are machines. The United States has proven that it can turn out from eight to ten thousand airplanes a month. England turns out three thousand a month, principally heavy bombers. The United States, therefore, is a country of machines. Without the use of those machines, through Lend-Lease, we would lose this war. "

Indirect confirmation of such statements was in Khrushchev's memoirs

And according to your Stalin, it immediately became clear that it was thanks to this assistance that the USSR would win? And the fact that his production began to recover did not inspire him at all?

They did not divide Europe in 1943. The opening of a second front and Lend-Lease was discussed at the Tehran Conference. The only thing that they discussed was not even discussed, and the United States confirmed that the Baltic States are the territory of the USSR.

Did he say that we won the war? He said we would lose. And then, the road is a spoon for dinner. At the end of 1941 and the beginning of 1942, our industry was in the process of evacuating, Stalin personally distributed every tank, every plane, every gun. One should not juggle interest with a grin, but be glad that at that time at least something was supplied to the troops. Some types of components, like gunpowder and explosives, in 1941 and 1942 under Lend-Lease accounted for up to half of the consumed. Let's be objective. We would have won the war without help, but at what cost? “We never believed that our Lend-Lease assistance was the main factor in the Soviet victory over Hitler on the Eastern Front,” noted G. Hopkins, a close aide to American President F. Roosevelt. "It was achieved by the heroism and blood of the Russian army."

[niksfromru]

Thinking about the price of victory and the contribution of Lend-Lease, one should not forget that Henry Ford was awarded the highest fascist order for foreigners not for his "beautiful eyes" either. Perhaps, without his contribution to the economy of the Reich, Lend-Lease would not have been required?

Not a single bomb fell on the territory of the United States, not a single shell hit. They did not know the loss of factories, factories, mines, mines, destroyed bridges and roads. Therefore, they could produce a lot of equipment. But also the Soviet industry from the middle of 1942 increased the rate of production. The evacuation of enterprises and their launch in the East of the USSR is a feat of the leadership of the country and the people. Yes, Lend-Lease has played a role. Without him, there would have been more casualties and the war would have lasted longer. But Victory would still be for the USSR.

[Reserve officer]

Boris, I'll add a little.
The states, by and large, did not care who to sell weapons to. Before the war, American banks were happy to give loans to anyone, including Germany, here in the first place was profit, not politics. The winner is simply more profitable. It was the lack of confidence in the victory of the USSR that hindered aid. And they sent their troops to Europe only to share the fruits of victory, when much had already become clear. And they received these fruits not in direct proportion to their contribution. For them, any war is a way of earning money, even at the cost of the blood of their soldiers.
Their main slogan is nothing personal, it's just business.

On September 9, 1942, the Japanese seaplane Yokosuka E14Y, launched from the Japanese submarine I-25,

The historic bombing of the United States by the Kugisho E14Y1 (Glen) seaplane from the I-25 had some psychological effect only on the Japanese side - as a retaliation for the bombing of Tokyo.
This submarine is interesting to us because it sank the Soviet submarine L-15. In response, L-16 (her partner) tried to destroy the Japanese with gun fire. Didn't get it. The boat also has two large tankers.
September 9, 1942, it was the first bombing by a pair of 76 kg bombs
Only 20 days later, after sunset (the Japanese decided to change tactics), a second raid was carried out - this time the area to the east of Port Orford was attacked
Total 2 bombings. Pilot Fujita and Observer Okuda
Fujito visited the fire-damaged town of Brookings in Oregon in 1962. He handed over a sword to the inhabitants, they collected donations for him and his wife for 3 thousand dollars. He has publicly apologized for the bombing.

These raids may well be considered as a kind of training for the delivery of bacteriological weapons to the United States.
In fairness, it should be noted that their boat was not the first Japanese submarine to strike the continental United States of America; In January 1942, the San Francisco area was fired upon by the Japanese submarine Ro-76 with its only 64-mm cannon.
But this applies to the continental United States
The islands are also part of the United States. And Japan is generally on the islands! And all these islands were bombed by hundreds of thousands of iron and explosives! From Pearl Harbor to Tokyo

What kind of help did Germany receive? Please enlighten. I read that the USSR received more than 400000 American trucks, more than 60000 passenger cars, more than 40000 motorcycles, 25 percent of small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, tanks, airplanes, armored personnel carriers (which the USSR did not produce), aluminum, rental, explosives, gunpowder, steam locomotives in large quantity, aviation gasoline (according to various sources, it carries completely from a third to a half of air sorties), power plants, ships, means of communication (we did not have much of our own) ......... On this site was like a good article about Lend-Lease. Chronicle footage then look how much American technology there.

That's right - harnessed the power of the occupied territories. They also used the Kharkov Tank Plant, although not entirely for their intended purpose. New tanks were not produced, but captured T-34s were repaired and brought to German standards. What does this have to do with Lend-Lease?

I read that apart from the Czechs, the rest did not work well. Not as effective as the Germans and Czechs themselves.
They were not very able to establish production for their needs, so the potential of the defeated was not fully exploited. The reason is that only cats will be born quickly. And the Germans were all in a hurry.
And on the territory of the USSR it was generally difficult to produce something for yourself. And it is difficult for objective and subjective reasons.

in the occupied territory of the USSR, in most cases, collective farms operated practically as before the war.

“In particular, the media at one time made public information that George W. Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush, while working at Union Banking, was, in fact, involved in financing the Nazis. However, in 1942 the cooperation was completely curtailed, and everyone hastened to forget about this story. "
In 1983, the American writer Charles Hiam published the book "Trade with the Enemy", in which, on the basis of documents he found in the archives, accused a number of well-known US corporations of collaborating with the Third Reich after the outbreak of World War II. In addition to Ford, Hiam caught American energy, financial and telecommunications companies owned by the Rockefellers, Morgan and other influential US business dynasties in partnership with the Nazis through neutral countries.

Cooperation with Hitlerite Germany was set on a grand scale among American industrialists and entrepreneurs. And these are not conspiracy theories from the yellow press, these things are openly published even in the West.

[Niel-le-Calais]

Quote: Maks Winter

Trade with the enemy

this concept is as much as war.
in the years of the RYAV, RI and IYa also traded through neutrals.
And the phenomenon is ubiquitous.
About the USA. They entered the war with Germany in December 1941
and the size of American contributions to Nazi Germany at the time of the events in Pearl Harbor was approximately $ 475 million. Standard Oil's investment was estimated at $ 120 million; General Motors - $ 35 million; ITT - $ 30 million; Ford - $ 17,5 million. A huge amount.
And the law on trade with the enemy from 1917 is very strict. And since no one specifically warned in advance (to withdraw the investment in advance, sell, etc.), but everything came abruptly, this hit the US owners in Germany quite hard. We are at war here, get out yourself with your property. So they got out.
All this is private capital. Cross-border. The USA tried quite strictly to comply with the 1917 law, but the capitalists disguised this business quite well from a legal point of view.
By the way, the US public and the World Bank were very outraged by the fact of such a business.
But the capitalist system cannot live without it. It is impossible to block such a trade. There will always be workarounds.

[zenion]

fibreboard (vladimir). You have not forgotten that in France, Spain, etc., Ford factories were built that produced trucks and factories that produced aircraft engines. Also factories that made tungsten and carbide materials for Germany with the customer's specified parameters. That from Portugal they supplied rare earth metals to Germany not ore, but metals, which again came to Germany through the USA. Chemistry and many other materials such as dyes were sent from the USA to Germany. The entire West helped Hitler, as well as South America. It was already when Hitler was coming to an end, they joined the Anti-Hitler coalition - we are now good.

Citizens of the United States and Great Britain would undoubtedly be outraged to learn that after the events in Pearl Harbor, the Chase Bank had entered into millions of transactions with the enemy in occupied Paris with the full knowledge of the management of this bank in Manhattan. And in France, trucks destined for the German occupation forces were assembled at Ford factories.
Moreover, says Charles Highham, “Colonel Sostenes Ben, head of the multinational American telephone corporation ITT, in the midst of the war, went from New York to Madrid, and from there to Bern, to help the Nazis improve communications systems and guided aerial bombs, which barbarously destroyed London. Ball bearings, which were so lacking in American factories that produced military equipment, were sent to Latin American customers associated with the Nazis
Portugal is a neutral country. She could sell to anyone and anything. And such countries, like gaskets, can always earn a lot from such supplies.
The volume of assistance from American capital and society of the USSR and the World Bank is many times greater than the volume of military-technical cooperation of a part of American capital in business with Germany.

[Avior]

Paris and parts of France were occupied by the Germans, so it is not surprising that some American-owned factories were working for the Germans.
As well as the German Coca-Cola plant, which had to invent a new drink, Fanta, as the cola concentrate stopped coming from the USA.
And so on.
Charles Hiham in his book did not provide any references to archival evidence, as someone wrote above. It makes no sense to take it seriously.

[Avior]

Can you compare in detail with the evidence the volumes of aid to the USSR and the Nazis before the landing in Normandy?

the amount of aid to the USSR and the Nazis

well LL -11 billion USSR (another Canada 4.1 billion)
And the total is more than 50 billion.
And the volume of investments in Germany was 475 million of the largest corporations of Americans.
It is not easy to count the trade - since there are neutrals.

[Avior]

all financial cooperation with Germany and German enterprises of US citizens and enterprises was terminated by law, since the official entry of the United States into the war. In fact, even earlier, the Germans drowned Standard Oil tankers even before the official state of war.

[Avior]

Until 1943, German industry worked in peacetime, and one shift was not straining, and only after Stalingrad it dawned on Hitler that something went wrong, and through the mouth of Goebbels announced total war, that is, the transfer of industry to wartime with accelerated growth of military production

More than a third of all explosives used in the Soviet Union during the war years came from Great Britain, the United States and Canada. The supply of explosives from the USA and Great Britain reached 53% of the total volume of Soviet production.

The resulting 295,6 thousand tons of explosives accounted for 53% of all produced at the enterprises of the USSR. Such a ratio for copper - 76%, aluminum - 106%, tin - 223%, cobalt - 138%, wool - 102%, sugar - 66%, and canned meat - 480% looks even more impressive.
In total, the USSR received 447 vehicles under Lend-Lease.
During the war, Soviet industry produced 265 cars. Thus, the number of vehicles received from the allies was more than 000 times higher than its own production. In addition, these were real army vehicles, adapted for operation in front-line conditions, while the domestic industry supplied the army with ordinary national economic vehicles.
The USSR received 1900 steam locomotives and 66 diesel-electric locomotives (these figures are especially clear against the background of its own production in 1942-1945 in 92 locomotives), as well as 11 cars (own production - 075 cars).

Also, do not forget that the blitzkrieg drowned in Moscow, so the United States went to such expenses, you know, they don’t like to invest in losing lotteries purely Uncle Sam counted and realized that he would lose more if he thought for a long time. We cannot ignore the merits of Joseph Vissarionovich, it is to him that we owe 22-23% of the total volume of supplies around the world, his talent as a politician is undeniable. So there are a lot of nuances and shades in this issue, and only a person who bury himself headlong into these factual investigations will be able to fully understand all the facets of what is being discussed. And certainly not to have, after that, the right to belittle the contribution of the USSR to the victory over Germany.

Only what was delivered was taken into account

Quote: stalki

We must not forget that the British, for example, received more under Lend-Lease than we did.

Sorry, but Great Britain has been at war with Germany since 1939, and then having lost the French itself. And we (the USSR) at that time were friends with Germany and maintained active trade relations. Echelons thundered at the crossings.
And in 1941, diplomats settled things first, then technical delegations sailed to the United States, to choose "goods." WHAT WOULD JUNE 1939 DOWNLOAD HELP.

Such a ratio for copper - 76%, aluminum - 106%, tin - 223%, cobalt - 138%, wool - 102% looks even more impressive.

And here the question is, how much of this was spent immediately, and how much went into stock? And this is where the interesting begins. Much of the above went to the RESERVES, which were used after the war. The Americans themselves were surprised that they were supplying the same aluminum, and the USSR did not even take it out of the port of unloading, but it was brought in large ingots, and moreover, this aluminum was laid on the ground as a pavement and roadway for cars.

[mat-vey]

Yes, there are "parts" - the rails were removed from the BAM, the locomotives were reactivated from the reserve. More than a quarter of the cars were assembled at their factories, although they could make their own - but these were better.

although they could make their own

At first, instead of them, tanks began to be made, these are the T-60 and T-70, and then they also lost a lot of power, for example, during a series of air raids from June 4 to 22, 1943, the GAZ power was destroyed

Can you tell me in which source you can read about this? is there a link?
this is very strange, because the shortage of aluminum has been very acute since the beginning of the war.
So sharp that Stalin, in a letter to Churchill of September 3, 1941, describing the situation at the front, specifically stipulated the urgent supply of aluminum, including to the USSR, with the fact that without it the USSR would either lose the war or be completely incapacitated for a long time.

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, which could delay 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 in the amount 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 for a long time the ability to provide assistance to its allies by its active actions on the front of the fight against Hitlerism.

The problem of aluminum is also explained by the fact that its production requires a large amount of electricity, and it was nowhere to quickly get it in the evacuation areas.

At the beginning of the 50s in Khabarovsk, my father's entire regiment was armed with American cars and amphibians, we 4-year-old boys knew all the brands of American cars by heart, and at the age of 5 I drove a Jeep on my own while my father was having dinner

[alexa100974]

When they talk about "the devil in the little things," the propagandists forget about these little things.
I love about steam locomotives. Almost all the USSR received in 1944-1945.
They say that the USSR built 92 locomotives and received 1900, BUT they do not say that at the beginning of the war there were more than 25000 of them in the USSR.
It's even funnier about the cars. At the beginning of the war there were more than 600 of them. And then they delivered as many as 000 wagons. Mustache! Guard! We were saved.
With cars for propagandists, the situation is a little better. But not much. Considering the number of cars in the USSR before the war, as well as the fact that 80% of American cars were delivered in 1943-1945.

But it is also necessary to note that the deliveries began after the defeat of German troops near Moscow (after December 28, 1941).

there was also a Soviet-British loan agreement of August 16, 1941.

their role is not decisive, but important when each tank was counted.

As far as I understand, neither from the United States, nor from the United Kingdom, France, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic and Slovakia, as well as the rest of Europe, including Ukraine, the Baltic States and others, there is not even any hint at the official level to celebrate the merits The Red Army and its soldiers in the liberation of the world from fascism.
So it makes sense to completely close this topic for public discussion, leaving it for debate in academia.

Have you heard anything from your partners in the then coalition or from the current world community about the merits of the Red Army in the victory over the Kwantung Army of Japan in 1945 or the surrender of Japan precisely after the military successes of the USSR over it?
It is unlikely, because this topic in the Western and Japanese media is insignificant and practically closed, but even the domestic media try to remind us every year about the poor Japanese who suffered or died under American carpet bombing or the atomic bombing of the United States.
Too selective approach to the military events of World War II distorts the history of events in which, in relation to the article, the United States successfully traded with Nazi Germany, while simultaneously supplying Lend-Lease to its opponents, in fact throwing wood into the fire from both sides.

As V. Pikul wrote at one time, "Undoubtedly, we would have coped without the help of Lend-Lease, but it would have been sheer stupidity to refuse it"

The question is - at what cost they would have coped with and at what lines would have ended the war.
In real life, the mob potential of the USSR was exhausted already in 1944. In 1945, the replenishment was not enough to bring the divisions in the direction of the main attack even to half of the state. So the USSR will not be able to withstand greater losses than in real life.
Plus, Lend-Lease not only closed our bottlenecks, but also made it possible to free up working hands (estimated at about 100 people) for other matters. There will be no Lend-Lease - you will have to look for these workers and factories somewhere. As well as peasants - to replenish food supplies.
Plus - raw materials and supplies. There is no Lend-Lease - and the USSR is left with half of aluminum (aircraft), copper (shells), 60% of gunpowder and practically no high octane.
The saddest thing is that it is impossible to buy and deliver what is missing for the USSR. On the northern route, we have nothing to cover for our ships. On the south - there are no roads (in real life, the highway through Iran was punched by the United States for two years). In the Far East, the available Soviet tonnage can provide only a third of the real traffic along this route.

What would have happened if bankers in Europe and the United States had not sponsored Hitler

the investment of 475 million is incomparable with the cost of aid to the allies of 50 billion from the United States alone.

[Tank jacket]

By August 1924, the old German mark was replaced with a new one, the financial situation in Germany stabilized, and, as researcher G. D. Preart wrote, the Weimar Republic was prepared for “the most picturesque economic aid in history, followed by the most bitter harvest in world history. "-" American blood poured into the financial veins of Germany in an irrepressible stream. "

The consequences of this were not slow to discover.

Firstly, due to the fact that the annual payments of reparations went to cover the amount of debts paid by the Allies, the so-called "absurd Weimar circle" has developed. Gold, which Germany paid in the form of military reparations, was sold, pledged and disappeared in the United States, from where it was returned in the form of "help" to Germany, which gave it to England and France, and they, in turn, paid them US military debt. The latter, having overlaid it with interest, again sent it to Germany. As a result, everyone in Germany lived on credit, and it was clear that if Wall Street retracted its loans, the country would go bankrupt.

Secondly, although formally loans were issued to ensure payments, it was actually about restoring the country's military-industrial potential. The fact is that the Germans paid for loans with shares of enterprises, so that American capital began to actively integrate into the German economy. The total amount of foreign investment in German industry for 1924−1929 amounted to almost 63 billion gold marks (30 billion accounted for loans), and reparations - 10 billion marks. 70% of financial income was provided by US bankers, most of them by J.P. Morgan banks. As a result, already in 1929, German industry came out on the second place in the world, but to a large extent it was in the hands of leading American financial and industrial groups.

Thus, I.G. Farbenindustri, this main supplier of the German military machine, which funded Hitler’s election campaign for 45% in 1930, was controlled by Rockefeller’s Standard Oil. The Morgan through General Electric controlled the German radio and electrical industry represented by the AEG and Siemens (by 1933 30% of the shares of the AEG belonged to General Electric), through the ITT communications company - 40% of the German telephone network, besides owned a 30% stake in the aircraft company Fokke-Wulf. Over the "Opel" was established control by the General Motors, owned by the Dupont family. Henry Ford controlled a 100% stake in Volkswagen. In 1926, with the participation of the Rockefeller Bank Dilon Reed & Co., the second largest industrial monopoly of Germany, the metallurgical concern Fereinigte Stahlwerke (Steel Trust), Thyssen, Flick, Wolf and Fegler, and others, arose after I.G. Farbenindustri.

American cooperation with the German military-industrial complex was so intense and pervasive that by 1933 key sectors of German industry and such large banks as Deutsche Bank, Dresdner Bank, Donat Bank and dr

Schroeder Bank becomes Germany's main agent in Great Britain, and in 1936 its New York branch merges with the Rockefeller House to create the investment bank Schroeder, Rockefeller & Co., which the Times magazine called "the economic propagandist of the Berlin-Rome axis. ". As Hitler himself admitted, he conceived his four-year plan on the financial basis of a foreign loan, so he never inspired him with the slightest alarm.

In August 1934, the American Standard Oil purchased 730 acres of land in Germany and built large oil refineries that supplied the Nazis with oil. At the same time, the most modern equipment for aircraft factories was secretly delivered to Germany from the USA, on which the production of German aircraft would begin. Germany received a large number of military patents from the American firms Pratt and Whitney, Douglas, and Bendix Aviation, and the Junkers-87 was built using American technologies.

By an agreement dated August 16, 1941, the loan was set at £ 10 million (approximately $ 40 million) at 3% per annum. The Soviet Government undertook to pay 40% of the deliveries in foreign currency and gold (including the proceeds from counter deliveries from the USSR to Great Britain), and the remaining 60% through a loan.
In June 1942, the loan amount was increased by 25 million pounds, and in February 1944 by another 25 million pounds. In total, by the end of the war in Europe, the loan amount was 60 million pounds.

[Baron pardus]

There is a very good book, Trading With the Enemy: Higham, Charles. "Land Lease" to Germany is well written there. No, of course not directly. Making deliveries directly to the enemy is like noncomilfo. Voters learn, learn about the company's connections with congressmen / senators, it will be completely inconvenient in front of Don Carlos. And from Brazil to Argentina, through Portugal and Spain. And oil, and aluminum, and rubber, and cobalt and a bunch of other yummy. Not on credit, of course, but for gold. But there are other interesting little things like who owned concerns like Focke Wolf and how much and how it determined when and whom the USAAF was bombing. And what did FDR say when he tried to cover this shop. And there is no less interesting book and audio book by Nikolai Starikov "Who forced Hitler to attack Stalin", which describes in great detail the financial assistance provided by the United States to the Nazi movement, and the connections of the American elite, including the notorious Kennedy and Bush clans, with the Nazi elite. However, all that Starikov did was summarize a bunch of materials from books published in the West at one time.
And for the Anglo-Saxons, trade and profit are sacred. Especially if you do not violate any SPECIFIED laws. And if the profit is large, then you can pay and change the laws.
In the USA there is such a sport as "NASCAR" auto racing, and racers wear the labels of the companies that sponsor them (the racers) on their suits. There has been a joke in the United States for a long time that they say to force congressmen and senators to put on the same labels on suits so that we, US citizens, know for whom these "democratically elected" representatives REALLY work.

[oleg2016.sever]

I agree.
If the United States and Britain had not financed the rise to power of the Nazis with the Fuhrer in 1932 and the revival of German industry with plans for war with Soviet Russia, then this "Liz" would not have been needed, and so the beast came out of obedience and instead of the East first went to the West ... But the verbiage "Lisa" is trying to deduce the root cause of this war and who is to blame for it - the United States and Britain with France, they provoked a fire - leading to power, financing the revival of industry, strengthening the Reich with the industries of Austria and Czechoslovakia, surrendering them to the Reich.

this "small" ...

On January 16, 1942, fundraising began for the purchase of tanks for the tank column "Revolutionary Mongolia". The citizens of the Mongolian People's Republic donated 2,5 million tugriks, 100 thousand US dollars and 300 kg of gold to Vneshtorgbank. By the end of 1942 Xnumx tank (32 T-34 tanks and 21 T-70 tanks) were delivered to the Naro-Fominsk area of ​​the Moscow region.

In 1943, a fundraiser was organized for the acquisition of a squadron of Mongolian Arat aircraft.
The Mongolian People's Republic also took over the clothing and food supply of the tank column and squadron until the end of the war.
During the war, more than 500 thousand horses were supplied from the Mongolian People's Republic to the USSR.
General I. A. Pliev said: “It took a lot of horses. Mongolian friends reliably provided us, and an unpretentious Mongol horse next to a Soviet tank reached Berlin!
The supply of almost 500 thousand tons of meat and 64 thousand tons of wool was no less valuable help for the warring USSR.

The main imports of the USSR from Mongolia were cattle and small ruminants, horse livestock, hides, raw fur, fur coats, wool, felt. From June 1941 to the end of 1945, the USSR imported from Mongolia 0,7 million heads of cattle, 4,9 million heads of small ruminants, 0,4 million horses, almost 6 million small hides.

Another area of ​​assistance from the MPR was the strengthening of its own armed forces. The size of the army was constantly increasing and by the end of the war increased by 3-4 times, up to 50% of the state budget was spent on the needs of the army and the militia [1]. The Mongolian People's Revolutionary Army was seen as an additional deterrent against the Kwantung Army, in addition to the troops of the 17th Army of the Red Army of the USSR Armed Forces, stationed on the territory of the MPR throughout the war.

I forgot more about it than you ever knew
Mongolian assistance in the war amounted to money for 53 tanks, 12 fighters, 30 thousand horses, 1200 camels, and something else and 8 - some write that 9 echelons of all kinds of gifts.
The total cost of gifts from Mongolia to the USSR amounted to 87 million rubles.
Mongolia sold the USSR for 600 million.

It seems that the amount of gifts is significant, but in the prices of that time it was about 160-180 T-34 tanks.
but that's not all
In response, the USSR also supplied Mongolia with free aid with goods and services.

that is, a reciprocal aid of 100 million is far from everything, and the above list of aid from the USSR is much larger.
That is, the USSR gave Mongolia during the war more than it received in return.
And all these hundreds of thousands of horses and millions of cattle are what Mongolia sold to the USSR.
And you can't count this as a gift in any way.

[Avior]

PS I have a mistake, 400-500 T-34 tanks, the price of the tank was 170-200 thousand rubles.
and, interestingly, Mongolia's budget revenues doubled during the war.

That is, all aid to Mongolia for the entire war is a quarter of Mongolia's budget for one year.

Mongolia provided "brotherly assistance". By the way, then Tuva too.

Maybe the truth is not critical, BUT - why did the USSR before the war produced aircraft from wood, plywood, delta wood, etc. - there was not enough aluminum. But for some reason, during the war, having lost part of the production capacity of "winged metal", it began to build solid metal aircraft. luminium?
And yet, the pre-war aircraft had low-power engines, but consumed low-octane gasoline, which was full. But then, they started the production of powerful engines, but little gasoline was produced for them. You can mix our gasoline, with American, and the plane flew.
We count the supply of tanks, armored personnel carriers, etc., and we get help, a few percent, from our production. But why in any army dozens of types of tanks, aircraft, etc. and crews separately prepare, and spare parts, and repair-hemorrhoids.

(the description is given mainly in relation to the aircraft of the La-5FN modification)

The La-5 fighter had the aerodynamic design of a single-engine low-wing cantilever. The main structural material of the airframe was pine and birch veneer. Delta wood was also used in the manufacture of the wing and fuselage power pack. All wooden parts of the aircraft were glued together with VIAM-B3 resin glue, without the use of nails and screws. Also, special steel was used in the design of the load-bearing elements, and on airplanes manufactured in 1944 and later, some of the airframe elements were made of duralumin and steel.

For the USSR, supplies were significant:
Technicians, first of all - cars.

Quote: Pavel57

Materials - aluminum, rubber.

Copper. Because copper is shell casings. And in 1943 the USSR began the transition to the mass use of 85-mm guns, the sleeve of which weighed three times more than that of the divisional 3 ".

Sleeve 76mm guns arr. 1902/1930 (as well as subsequent divisions of this caliber) weighed 830-850 grams.
But the anti-aircraft gun sleeve of the 1931 3-K model weighed 2 kg 760 grams already.
Those. 3,1 times more copper.
The 85mm anti-aircraft gun barrel weighed 2,85-2,92kg and was slightly thicker, but in geometric terms it was almost identical to the 1931 3-K gun barrel.

It was the lack of copper that in many ways hacked the pre-war projects to change the caliber of divisional artillery.

Plus - high-octane gasoline and components for its production. As well as equipment for refineries.
Moreover, imported high-octane was used, among other things, for the manufacture of mixed aviation gasoline (mixed with domestic gasoline with a lower RON). And this mixed aviation gasoline was included in the figure for Soviet production.

There are not many armaments as such, since there is little good (the country did not have a good land military school) and we need to do it ourselves, and we ourselves tried not to take the old ones.

But why?
You have paid trolls here and so they stick these numbers and% to the place, but mostly out of place.
As an example:
In 1943, Omeriga offers 2000 decommissioned steam locomotives at low prices under Lend-Lease. You can take them, and our factories producing railway equipment, switch to the repair of rolling stock or the production of armored trains and even just cars or to help tank builders, there are a million options! And in amerovskoy training manual 75 years later, two numbers will remain: the USSR itself produced only 100 steam locomotives, and the United States donated 2000 pieces.

He flew well, if someone here does not know.

with no weapons (a number of rifle-caliber machine guns and only in the wings, let's just leave disputes about other modifications, only this was supplied to the USSR).

In our country, among other things, they put 20-mm cannons on it, as well as on the "Hawks". As a platform, it was not bad. "Barn", but tenacious.

Remember the Battle of Hastings.

So the Allies at that time themselves fought on what they supplied us. For limes in Africa, "Lee" in 1942 seemed like heavenly manna.

That is, you confirm that the Allies themselves fought on what they supplied us.

As for the Hurricanes, the USSR inherited the first Huri from 81 and 134 squadrons of the RAF, which covered Murmansk. That is, again, we got what the limes flew on. In general, the Khoury lived in the RAF for a long time: it was only in March 1942 that they began to change them to the Spits in Malta, and the Desert Air Force raised 6 Khuray squadrons against Rommel in October 1942.

[Tavrik]

Give the list of "shit", please. In general, our people's commissariats made lists of what was needed. And the United States has already looked at what it can deliver and in what time frame.

[Left shot]

The people's commissariats made a list of what was proposed and what was offered to diplomats and accompanying engineering delegations. No need to go over the ears that the people's commissariats could choose anything from the British-American products, this is nonsense.
The Allies refused much of what the Soviet representatives asked.

I named examples of shit in the adjacent comments.

[Tavrik]

And how could the allies propose something, on what basis? What, having traveled on our fronts, or what? How could they know that, for example, we need batteries for submarines? Only based on our requests.
As for the Hurricanes and Lee ... Well, first of all, what they fought on, they brought it to us. Both Hariki and Lee were not superfluous in the West. Yes, and we have I-16s in the air defense until the age of 44. Secondly, the situation was such that any tank or aircraft was welcome. Something with anger did not refuse anything ... But after 75 years we are looking at the "gift horse teeth" with interest. And our grandfathers-great-grandfathers were very glad that at least the Hurricane flew over them, and at least Lee, even Valentine, stood nearby in battle formation.
And in something they refused. For they themselves had a war, although we do not admit it. No one will take off his "last shirt".

[Left shot]

"How could the Allies offer anything, on the basis of what?" - Based on calculation and greed. For example, ours asked for Spitfires - denied, asked for B-17 - Roosevelt allowed, but the Minister of Defense refused ... they gave B-25 instead, which is slightly wrong /
Basically, like ordinary merchants sniffed illiquid assets.

[Tavrik]

Well, firstly, you admit that the deliveries were carried out at our requests ("ours asked ..."), secondly, Spitfires were supplied, they flew to the air defense of Leningrad, and thirdly, how to condemn the allies for what we Didn't you put it? They had their own war in several theaters. And everywhere we needed planes and tanks. And ours, having learned about possible deliveries, wanted "everything and more". Then their commissions came and were surprised that the cargo was lying on the berths. In the end, it was not we who helped, but us.

[Left shot]

Stop, breakdowns in logic ... Our people asked, but this does not mean that they were given. Consequently, ours did not choose anything from the allied products. And they asked NOT DRUGS for sure.

[Left shot]

We will not go over the ears about the Spitfires that fought with us?

“Still, the Spitfire appeared in the USSR in September 1942. These were three PR IV vehicles - photographic reconnaissance vehicles. They had no weapons. Instead of cannons and machine guns, there were additional gas tanks, which increased the fuel supply by two and a half times. shoot from great heights. "

And the allies initially proposed modifications I and II - this is completely outdated shit in 41-43. Our asked other.
This is another illustration of my words.

I repeat 5 times. Allies for gold shake off the USSR illiquid shit.
And those who pray (or jerk off) for supposedly key Western aid with supplies to the USSR in WWII, modestly "forget" about it.

It makes no sense to think out the history of US and British aid to the Soviet Union, by the end of 1941 the Red Army was partially defeated.
This is confirmed by Stalin's panicked letter to Churchill, dated September 3, 1941, with a desperate request for immediate help.

,, ... Without these two types of assistance, the Soviet Union will either be defeated or weakened to the point that it loses for a long time the ability to provide assistance to its allies by its active actions on the front of the fight against Hitlerism ...

http://doc20vek.ru/node/2824

Marshal of Victory Zhukov explained the significance of US aid:

“.. The Americans drove us so many materials, without which we could not form our reserves and could not continue the war...
We got 350 thousand cars, but what kind of cars!
... We had no explosives, no gunpowder. There was nothing to equip cartridges with. The Americans really helped us out with gunpowder and explosives.
And how much they drove us sheet steel. How could we have quickly set up the production of tanks, if not for American help with steel.
And now they present it as if we had it all in abundance ”.

Now everyone takes a sip. It is clear that the actions of the allies in the early years of the war would greatly help our country. In addition to military equipment, we received machines that survived until the 90s. Food aid was provided in the form of concentrates and vitamins near Stalingrad. All this assistance cannot be underestimated or overestimated. The Soviet people understood that they were not alone in the struggle against bestial fascism.

What is Lend-Lease? This is aluminum for tank diesel engines, radio stations for aircraft, telephones and thousands of kilometers of cable products. These are hundreds of tons of high-quality steel, rails and locomotives. These are chemicals and rubber, this is radar, which we simply did not have. These are gunpowder and explosives. These are thousands of tons of flour and meat, hundreds of thousands of cans of first-class stew, milk powder and butter. These are hundreds of thousands of pairs of shoes and kilometers of fabric. These are hundreds of thousands of trucks and SUVs, tens of thousands of car sets that were assembled by our car factories. These are machine tools and turbines, rolling mills and equipment for oil refining. Mikoyan, then the People's Commissar for Foreign Trade, said that without supplies under the Lend-Lease, it was not known how 41 years would have ended. Although in 41st only two caravans came from Britain.

Sent September 3, 1941.
PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM PREMIER STALIN TO THE PREMIER Mr. CHURCHILL

.... As a result, we lost more than half of Ukraine and, in addition, the enemy ended up at the gates of Leningrad.

These circumstances led to the fact that we lost the Krivoy Rog iron ore basin and a number of metallurgical plants in Ukraine, evacuated one aluminum plant on the Dnieper and another aluminum plant in Tikhvin, one engine and two aircraft plants in Ukraine, two engine and two aircraft plants in Leningrad, moreover, these factories can be put into operation in new places no earlier than in seven to eight months.

All this led to a weakening of our defenses and put the Soviet Union in a mortal threat.

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, which could delay 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 in the amount 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 for a long time the ability to provide assistance to its allies by its active actions on the front of the fight against Hitlerism ...

The most important thing: stew and bread! Without this, by 1943, more than half of the population simply died of hunger! And there is nothing to say about everything else: without aluminum there would be no tanks and aircraft. Is there any doubt about that? How many times fewer tanks and planes would have been produced?

[mat-vey]

During the Great Patriotic War (1941–45), the Soviet aluminum industry suffered significant damage. The Volkhov and Dneprovsky aluminum, Tikhvin alumina and Dneprovsky electrode plants temporarily stopped their work. The Central Committee of the CPSU (b) and the Soviet government took measures to expand and create new capacities for the aluminum industry in the Urals and Siberia. In 1943, the Novokuznetsk aluminum smelter was launched, on the day of the victory over Nazi Germany (May 9, 1945), the Bogoslovsk aluminum smelter in the Urals produced its first products. During the war years, the Soviet aluminum industry significantly exceeded the pre-war level of production.

1. The USSR did not beat isolated thanks to ingenious diplomacy. In all cases, he either fought together with the allies (USA or Germany) or remained neutral, which is even better. We remind you that before Lend-Lease, mutually beneficial trade with Germany was beating. Only Hitler's insane mistake made the USSR an enemy.
2. Before the victory at Stalingrad, Lend-Lease had little impact on the war in the East. And after Stalingrad, the USSR could no longer be defeated and it could conclude a separative truce or peace with Germany if the Western allies left it without economic assistance.
3. Without the USSR, the victory of the United States and Britain in the war was absolutely impossible. They could not defeat Korea and Vietnam without the USSR, but here Germany, Japan and Italy had to be defeated.

Lend-lease food was received mainly in 1944-45 at a rate of several grams per person. If it saved anyone from starvation, it was only the Germans and other Europeans in the Soviet zone.
Without Lendleus aluminum in 1941-42, the USSR produced no fewer tanks and aircraft using more wood and steel. The same applies to all other theories about the irreplaceability of Lend-Lease (locomotive, automobile, aviation gasoline, toluene, copper, and so on).

So the CHRONICLE IS A RIVER, looking from the coast you will not see anything on the river, except for a small cut.
If you look at World War 1 as an example, and you just look at the murder of the Great Martyr Nicholas and his family, you see nothing more than horrible mischiefs and nothing more if you make a HORIZONTAL SECTION DISCOVER YES THE 2 CIRCAL EMPIRE WERE ALWAYS AND MANY KINGS WAS LOST WHAT IS THIS NUMBER 1789
So also the 2nd world war she started with the betrayal of the "allies" of CZECHOSLOVAKIA.
If you look today, you see only a local war for an example in Syria or Libya, and that NATO is approaching Russian borders, along the way destroyed several powers Iraq, Siriu, Liviu, Afghanistan, etc.
.
If you make VERTICAL SECTION AND HORIZONTALLY YOU WILL SEE THAT NATO STARTED 3. WORLD WAR IS STILL 1991-1999. aggression against Yugoslavia, just like Hitler began the 2. World War with aggression against Czechoslovakia, and the whole world betrayed her. and that the world is today somewhere in 1940 or 1941 before Hitler's attack on the USSR.
IT MEANS THE WORLD IS IN THE 3. WORLD WAR IT DOESN'T CARE WHAT THEY DO NOT SPEAK TO YOU ON TV AND NEWSPAPERS !!!

what is this big-eyed goblin carrying here? Lend-Lease for the USSR is primarily the supply of equipment and technologies + fuel and lubricants, transport, explosives and gunpowder. Even with Lend-Lease, Germany throughout the war had an advantage in artillery (especially heavy), aviation, transport ... If Lend-Lease was removed, then the offensive operations of 1944-45. for the Red Army it will be easy impossible! Neither transport (lend-lease deliveries of cars exceed the number of cars produced in the USSR during the war years by 2.5 times, and even more steam locomotives - we have successfully deflated our steam locomotive and rail-rolling plants), nor aviation fuel (which was badly charged by diluting Soviet aviation gasoline American "weaving"), no fuels and lubricants (the Americans supplied us with several turnkey oil refineries with their own technologies - we had poor ones of ours), no shells (50 percent of Soviet explosives during the war years can be safely attributed to American supplies and American raw materials for explosives.And some types of explosives were practically produced in laboratory quantities! + non-ferrous metals) for these offensive operations the Red Army simply would not have been! Would stand up tightly somewhere on the Dnieper! Hungry, barefoot and undressed! (:) and even without buttons - they were also supplied in large quantities by the Americans!). There would have been no question of continuing the war without Lend-Lease "for a couple of months longer"! - It was just about the continuation of the war ... So what did Comrade Matveychev count 4% of the total military production? - Only in his inflamed brain!
Yes, the USSR made a decisive contribution to the defeat of Germany and Co in World War II! But to deceive ourselves and to wag that even without amerskoy help we would "pile" on them is simply unwise.

The Yak-7 also hit very little aluminum and hit the plane quite well, like the Il-2, as well as the best Soviet strike aircraft in this war, the Po-2, with record efficiency indicators. The USSR also produced a lot of visokooctane without a lend-lease. But most importantly, the Soviet aircraft remained with the worst characteristics to the end and the high octane could not significantly change this. But the tactics of their use improved very significantly, and it did not depend on whether gasoline was 87 or 90 or 95. And finally, aviation itself as a whole had a very limited impact on the course and outcome of the war. So aluminum and high octane were of tertiary importance in the course of hostilities.

[Kostadinov]

If Lend-Lease is removed, then the offensive operations of 1944-45. for the Red Army will become simply impossible!

It was the Koreans and the Chinese who did not come up with the idea in 1950 that they could not attack and destroy only the infantry with small arms and light artillery, the enemy who had absolute superiority in the air, in tanks, cars, at sea in heavy artillery, and so on. And the Soviet army itself did not know about it when it advanced near Moscow at Stalingrad.

No transport (lend-lease deliveries of cars exceed the number of cars produced in the USSR during the war years by 2.5 times,

And in the USSR before the war, no cars were hit? Or, by the beginning of the war, they were still hit twice as much as they received under Lend-Lease. And the trophy cars were also hit? Not to mention that the German army carried out a blitzkrieg in 1941 with one million horses in the infantry divisions alone.

and there are even more steam locomotives - we have successfully profiled our steam locomotive and rail rolling plants),

So they reached the steam locomotives that in the USSR were hit by 26 thousand before the war, and they received a thousand petts from lend-lease. When they retreated, the range of transportation was reduced, and when they attacked, they captured trophies. The same goes for wagons and rails. It was not possible for the Soviets or the Germans to take with them the steam locomotives, wagons and rails during the retreat.

neither aviation fuel (which was badged by diluting Soviet aviation gasoline with American "weaving"), nor fuels and lubricants (the Americans supplied us with several turnkey oil refineries with their own technologies - we had poor ones),

The USSR produced aviation fuel before the American plants were received, and a lot. And with and without American weaving, Soviet planes flew slower and lower than German ones, but they were hit a lot and tactics improved. It was their strength that beat them, not American gasoline. And with him and without him, nothing has changed significantly.

no shells (50 percent of Soviet explosives during the war years can be safely attributed to American supplies and American raw materials for explosives. And some types of explosives in our country were practically produced in laboratory quantities!

One can safely attribute 100 percent, but if not so boldly and not "some types" then the USSR, together with reserves at the beginning of the war, produced quite enough explosives for all needs and in the first place for artillery. If necessary, there was a readiness to produce more amatol, schneiderite, explosives from nitrate and kerosene, and so on, which were enough with a beaten track.

+ non-ferrous metals) for these offensive operations of the Red Army simply would not be!

What non-ferrous metals were missing? By the way, the United States also lacked some or other non-ferrous metals or ore. They could also be imported from China, Turkey, Japan. Colored metals were also found as trophies. How much aluminum fell from German aircraft alone. Finally, they were replaced using steel, wood and others.

Would stand up tightly somewhere on the Dnieper! Hungry, barefoot and undressed! (:) and even without buttons - they were also supplied in large quantities by the Americans!). There would have been no question of continuing the war without Lend-Lease "for a couple of months longer"! - It was just about continuing the war ...

Is it late 1943? Before the surrender of the USSR hit only a couple of months? For example, by May 9, 1944, the USSR signs an act of unconditional surrender to Germany? Good historical unscientific fiction will turn out. I wish you success.

[Edvid]

Without the help of the allies, and it began even before the lend-lease, at the end of 1941. (deliveries for payment from England and its dominions, in particular, Australia, New Zealand. Canada.
