The USSR would have collapsed without the Lend-Lease Act and help from Britain (intelligence). Loss of food would have sealed the fate of the soviets (unless helped by foreign powers fighting for communism) The soviets got enough food from the USA to feed its soldiers for the rest of the war, 12 million boots , 60 percent aluminum and steel, a lot of tin , 90 percent of railway equipment ( the soviets would never have been able to conduct offensives so fast and transfer their main armies to critical points , 300000 trucks were given , 65 percent of aviation fuel and much more apart from 15 percent tanks ,aircrafts Soviet sympathizers say "only 15 per cent was given to USSR"

The US in their lend-lease program added 5% to the total production of the USSR and it had to be paid back over decades. The UK also sent weapons and provisions without the need for the Soviets to pay anything back. The US was late to the war but of course, we never hear anything but how important the US was from self-important Americans who take sleight whenever anyone points these things out. Let's not try to make everything about America, shall we? The Soviets were the ones mainly responsible for defeating the Nazis and the UK and its Empire fought the Axis powers on their own for 2 years while 90% of Americans wanted nothing to do with it. Americans trying to tell us how 'important' they are is why most of the rest of the world can't stand them.

More half baked history

Yes, within the first 8 minutes the narrator regurgitates or exaggerates Versailles Treaty myths...war guilt clause, reparations to much, etc.
