According to the Russian historian Boris Vadimovich Sokolov, Lend-Lease had a crucial role in winning the war:
On the whole the following conclusion can be drawn: that without these Western shipments under Lend-Lease the Soviet Union not only would not have been able to win the Great Patriotic War, it would not have been able even to oppose the German invaders, since it could not itself produce sufficient quantities of arms and military equipment or adequate supplies of fuel and ammunition. The Soviet authorities were well aware of this dependency on Lend-Lease. Thus, Stalin told Harry Hopkins [FDR's emissary to Moscow in July 1941] that the U.S.S.R. could not match Germany's might as an occupier of Europe and its resources.[32]
lmao
What does he base that claim on?
I’d like to see some numbers
Like even following your idiotic argument
Your ideology getting gangbanged
Nikita Khrushchev, having served as a military commissar and intermediary between Stalin and his generals during the war, addressed directly the significance of Lend-lease aid in his memoirs:
I would like to express my candid opinion about Stalin's views on whether the Red Army and the Soviet Union could have coped with Nazi Germany and survived the war without aid from the United States and Britain. First, I would like to tell about some remarks Stalin made and repeated several times when we were "discussing freely" among ourselves. He stated bluntly that if the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war.
lmao
Is pretty detrimental to it
Krustchev literally had prime interest in making Stalin look as bad as possible my dude
He’s not a reliable source for that
Joseph Stalin, during the Tehran Conference during 1943, acknowledged publicly the importance of American efforts during a dinner at the conference: "Without American machines the United Nations could never have won the war."[42][43]
In a confidential interview with the wartime correspondent Konstantin Simonov, the Soviet Marshal Georgy Zhukov is quoted as saying:
Today [1963] some say the Allies didn't really help us ... But listen, one cannot deny that the Americans shipped over to us material without which we could not have equipped our armies held in reserve or been able to continue the war.[44]
from stalin himself lol
That doesn’t mean they wouldn’t have beaten them lmao
Would’ve been a hella lotta more bloody
Also again
germans would have just taken moscow then secure baku then allies would have sued for peace
Your ideology getting gangbanged by the rest of the world isn’t really saying too much good bout it
How?
America had nukes
Enjoy wasteland Berlin
Ok Mr warlord
and it wasnt guaranteed
even the leaders had doubts
Show me some numbers
@Spergerger mate c’mon you know it’s just a bait hook
they would not bet their countries on nonexistant weapons

For the soviets not being able to beat em
