> US contribution to USSR's military production was less than 1%

Even most blatant Soviet propaganda put that into 4%.

Marshal Zhukov said that Lend-lease was critical to Soviet victory. And that was from a man who took Berlin.

Just a few facts: for USSR lend-lease accounted for 30% of trucks, more than half of aviation fuel and about 93% of railroad equipment.

So it's definetely not a propaganda.

Does it? 4% is still nothing.

So did stalin. Politicians, generals, etc say a lot of things. Especially about "free" stuff.

Facts you just made up?

4% to 93%. Sounds a lot like propaganda.
