what the russians had was their sacrifise and blood but that didnt win the war alone

2018-11-14 22:06:17 UTC  

However ww2 was won due to the americans

2018-11-14 22:06:33 UTC  

who have created the western front again

2018-11-14 22:06:37 UTC  

and a southern one

2018-11-14 22:06:42 UTC  

all together, there were 17 million tons of goods shipped to the USSR

2018-11-14 22:06:51 UTC  

from 1941-1945

2018-11-14 22:07:08 UTC  

let's just look at soviet production of raw materials here

2018-11-14 22:07:42 UTC  

all together, the USSR produced 263 million tons of coal, ore, steel, and aluminium

2018-11-14 22:07:46 UTC  

Like I said, lend lease and blood alone didnt win the war

2018-11-14 22:08:06 UTC  

which means that the USA shipped the soviets less than 6% of what they produced themselves

2018-11-14 22:08:16 UTC  

the lend-lease act did basically nothing for the soviets

2018-11-14 22:08:30 UTC  

except prepare far more men

2018-11-14 22:08:31 UTC  

and that's not even including soviet production/storage of any machines or vehicles

2018-11-14 22:08:45 UTC  

dont forget the newer technology

2018-11-14 22:08:49 UTC  

that's the US's entire shipments vs soviet raw materials alone

2018-11-14 22:09:06 UTC  

were there any soviet troops armed with thompson machine guns on the front lines?

2018-11-14 22:09:10 UTC  

which greatly helped moscow and stalingrad during winter

2018-11-14 22:09:11 UTC  

any shermans on the eastern front?

2018-11-14 22:09:27 UTC  

No? But many others

2018-11-14 22:09:35 UTC  

Better tanks for sure

2018-11-14 22:09:50 UTC  

the majority of the US's shipped tanks were shermans

2018-11-14 22:10:03 UTC  

4000 out of 7000

2018-11-14 22:10:29 UTC  

So then there was

2018-11-14 22:10:59 UTC  

1300 of the other tanks were M3 lees

2018-11-14 22:11:14 UTC  

and it doesn't say here what the remaining 1700 were

2018-11-14 22:11:34 UTC  

now the sherman is a medium tank

2018-11-14 22:11:34 UTC  

m3 lees were pretty good

2018-11-14 22:11:48 UTC  

so let's compare it with the most-produced soviet tank

2018-11-14 22:11:49 UTC  

so was the m3

2018-11-14 22:11:50 UTC  

the T-34

2018-11-14 22:12:03 UTC  

Like I said, doesnt matter

2018-11-14 22:12:19 UTC  

you said the technology was better

2018-11-14 22:12:25 UTC  

and that they were better tanks

2018-11-14 22:12:35 UTC  

if we compare the tanks, then we can find if those claims are true

2018-11-14 22:12:49 UTC  

I am testing your claim

2018-11-14 22:12:50 UTC  

it bought them time so did winter

2018-11-14 22:13:00 UTC  

Im not saying it won the war

2018-11-14 22:13:21 UTC  

you said that the tanks were better than the soviet ones

2018-11-14 22:13:24 UTC  

America won the war

2018-11-14 22:13:32 UTC  

and?
