Yes, please. They will hold more truth than Soviet sources.

> You don't know what you are talking about.

Yes, he does. There was no way to buy a tank for a Soviet citizen. There was a way for a citizen to "buy" (massive quotes) a tank for a government, but that would be a pure propaganda feat.

> Do a 5 minutes research to verify the Oktyabrskaya's story.

And let me guess: I need to use Soviet sources which are absolutely biased in describing WW2?

> 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.

> Russia had the best tanks in the early war

But without US-provided materials and equipment Soviets will not be able to produce tanks during 1942-1944.
