ORIGINAL: Razz Russia gets very little help in Lend Lease. Not worth the effort to re-write it. Not sure if this means, little help in the game or little help historically. Historically, it was very significant. 500, 000 trucks and jeeps, huge quantities of clothing and strategic materials. The images of the Katushka rocket launchers, almost always mounted on US truck chassis, tells the story. The Soviets could make the aircraft, tanks and other basic weapons, but Lend-lease enabled them to move and support this equipment. Equipment is useless in modern war, if you can't move it.
