>>20789395
because even with the millions of dollars worth of ammunition, guns, trucks, tanks, food, money etc that the Soviets received they still were close to defeat, take all of this away and course the war is different. there's a (probably) legitimate quote from Stalin saying that lend lease prevented Russia's collapse.
