In 1942, the United States interrupted aid to the Soviet Union, I think this is pure nonsense, in March 1941, the United States Lend-Lease Act came into force, Britain and the Soviet Union were given 40% and 35% of the $50 billion in foreign aid, although the United States in 1942 to aid the Soviet Union of the Arctic route was indeed interrupted for a period of time because of the Nazi submarine warfare, but in itself on the U.S. aid to the Soviet Union is not a big impact. have much impact on US aid to the USSR.
Authoritative Russian sources show that the United States still provided significant aid to the Soviet Union in 1942
Data published in 1990 by the Russian State Economic Archives, as well as the Soviet Union's State Statistics Committee. as well as the Soviet Union's Foreign Trade Operations Manual for 1941-1945, show that American aid to the Soviet Union in 1942 not only did not decrease, but instead reached unprecedented figures, when a large amount of U.S. aid had already amounted to more than 30 percent of the Soviet Union's self-production, molybdenum concentrates were equivalent to 220.20 percent of the Soviet Union's self-production, rubber was equivalent to 170.95 percent of the Soviet Union's self-production, and cobalt was equivalent to the Soviet Union's 153.37% of the Soviet Union's own production, and tin equivalent to 270.57% of the Soviet Union's own production. All of these materials were vital to the Soviet Union at the time.
The U.S. assisted the Soviet Union with a large amount of weaponry in 1942
In addition, in 1942, the U.S. also assisted the Soviet Union with a large number of airplanes, tanks, light ships, and other materials, and as of September 1945, the U.S. supplied the Soviet Union with 15,000 warplanes, more than 8,000 tanks, more than 1 million jeeps and trucks, 35,000 motorcycles, more than 8,000 tractors, and 100,000 artillery pieces. more than 8,000, more than 10,000 artillery pieces, 105 anti-submarine frigates, 131,633 machine guns, 345,735 tons of explosives, 1,981 locomotives, 11,115 trains, 90 freighters, 7,784 ship engines, 802,000 tons of non-ferrous metals, 26,700,000 tons of oils, 84,200,000 tons of chemicals, 106,893,000 tons of cotton, and 498,669,000 tons of leather products. tons, leather products: 49,869 tons, tires: 3,786,000 pcs, military boots: 15,417,001 pairs, radios: 40,000 sets, electronic tubes: 10,000,000 pcs, machinery and equipment: 10,789,665,000 US dollars and so on. A large part of them were provided in 1942, and in 1942 the United States provided the Soviet Union with arms, bombers are equivalent to 23% of the Soviet Union's own production, fighters are equivalent to 20% of the Soviet Union's own production, and light tanks are equivalent to 20% of the Soviet Union's own production.
So the author does not know the subject of this one question from where to see, after the end of the Second World War, even Khrushchev himself had a green mouth admitted: ? Without canned SPAM (luncheon meat) from the United States, we really don't know what we would have used to feed the Soviet Red Army.? In addition to resources and weapons, the U.S. assistance of up to 200,000 tons of wheat, eggs, milk and other food is in the Soviet Union's most overstretched situation to solve the Soviet Union's immediate needs.
In 1942, the U.S. assisted the Soviet Union with a lot of heavy equipment
In addition to this assistance, the Allies for the Soviet Union to assist the most important is the machining equipment, especially the large vertical machining lathes and so on. After the end of World War II, Yermolov, "Soviet Tank Industry in the Era of the Patriotic War," said that the Soviet Union could not produce large vertical machining lathes, and at that time, the large vertical lathes in the Kirov plant in Chelyabinsk were all supplied by the United States and the United Kingdom, and that without these large-scale machining equipment, the Soviet Union would not have been able to produce 1600mm turret seating rims for its tanks, so the assistance of the U.S. and the United Kingdom to the Soviet Union was crucial.
Conclusion
If there is no such equipment, the Soviet Union's steel flood can only be a dream, in general, the Soviet Union in the Patriotic War paid an extremely heavy price, and behind the back of the Allied support, if it is not the Allied support, the Soviet Union in the Patriotic War will be in an extremely difficult situation, it is not the problem of less than a tank and a gun, but less than a few factories, the problem of less than 200,000 tons of food. It was a matter of 200,000 tons less food, and if the US had cut off aid to the USSR in 1942, where would so much have come from?
Respecting the objective facts and exploring the truth of the matter, I am the military military vision, welcome to pay attention to
