American, British and Canadian Lend-Lease made a significant difference in the progress of the Soviet armies against Hitler's armies. However, the USSR tried to keep this information limited and the role of Lend-Lease is generally not well known although it constituted about 15 per cent of the total equipment used by the USSR, particularly almost one-half million American trucks. It was said that the only thing that moved through the mud towards Germany were the Ukrainian T-34 tanks with their wide tracks and the American Studebaker trucks.

The USA supplied the USSR with 6,430 planes, 3,734 tanks, 104 ships and boats, 210,000 autos, 3,000 anti-aircraft guns, 245,000 field telephones, gasoline, aluminum, copper, zinc, steel and five million tons of food. This was enough to feed an army of 12 million every day of the war. Britain supplied 5,800 planes, 4,292 tanks, and 12 minesweepers. Canada supplied 1,188 tanks, 842 armoured cars, nearly one million shells, and 208,000 tons of wheat and flour. The USSR depended on American trucks for its mobility since 427,000 out of 665,000 motor vehicles (trucks and jeeps) at the end of the war were of western origin.

Churchill had the balls to stand up tp Hitler, while the Russians were only fooling themselves with their little non-aggression treaty with Hitler.

nah, i'm extreme leftist kraut :)

And some people have their thoughts and ideas installed into otherwise vacant heads by the nightly news. God I'm so sick of hearing about Al Qeada this and that. News fucking flash! They are not now nor have they ever been the only terrorist organization on this planet. The day after 9/11 the fucking Israelis were hot for America to believe it was --their-- pet terrorist organization that did it. Instead we choose the dreaded, all powerful Al Qeada as boogey man.

Don't make the mistake of thinking what you read is the truth. Ask yourself where did they get the information? CIA? Intelligence sources? Everyone has seen how dead-on reliable those sources are with Bush and cronies pointing their finger daily at bad intelligence as the reason for their WMD claims.

damn ,killed again, ya smartass.
good 4 you and bad 4 me that I don't speak English fluently. :(
and please, save your irony for yourself this time ;).

"Ukrainian T-34 tanks" :1orglaugh May be you even know the name of that "Ukrainian" engineer who have created the T-34 tank? You are so funny bro... Please keep narrating :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Let me guess, the young and charismatic vladimir putin intented it??

The T(toilet)-34?? :1orglaugh

Seems you're dreaming only about toilets and vladimir putin (young and charismatic - hehe :)) Take a rest bro, you 're working toooo much :1orglaugh :thumbsup

IRAQ = the 51st state of the US.

I just wonder how long we will let the person we put into leadership there stay in power... Lets see... we let Saddam stay in power how long? I mean we put him in office there... you did know that right?

You do not know a fucking thing about that.

What is wrong with speaking German? It is a great language.

50 warriors of Islam?

I don't think he meant anything bad regarding German language or the German people at all (BTW, I also have nothing agingst them - Germany is a good country). He just meant that without Russia the entire world could be enslaved by Hitler in 40's of XX century.

I thought we (the US) made that happen... not russia.

you don't have a fucking clue.. Ukranian t-34's? what else? Chinese MIGs and Algerian ak-47's? Paaalese

The islamic plea for extremists around to region to come kill Westerners in Iraq started right after the war. Most of the violence (car bombings, etc) is tied to these factions. As for Chechen terrorists, I doubt many will come. They've got their hands too full with their own terror campaigns to worry about Iraq.

History tells us a different story.

Islamic groups aren't terrorists the real terrorists are Bush and Blair.

Exactly.

I could be wrong.....its probably alot more. :ak47:

Russians dont think much of Ukraine. :ak47:

And the real statesmen are Arafat, Bin Laden, and Chirac. :1orglaugh

When I read that I just assume your a fuckin idiot and that the rest of the thread isnt worth my time.

hahaha, that was pretty damn funny. :drinkup

I agree, as soon as bush orders a investigation into the intelligence reports of WMD, what does Blair do? He does the fucking same, the poodle follows his master for sure!!

This whole thing regarding the intelligence on WMD has been one big fucking cock up from the beginning!!!

And for a start I don't think Dr Kelly commiited suicide over the leaked report!!!

This is good news!!!

finally maybe USA will fuck off out of Iraq

Sweet dreams babe, and don't watch "Power Rangers" too much before you go to bed. Just try to read some wise books instead. For instance, learn something about Vietnam war, learn why Clinton has moved the US forces from Somalia, Eisenhower has moved the US forces from Lebanon and so on. Actually I don't argue here with children, so please consider this post as my first and last advice to you son :winkwink:

:1orglaugh Cool pic :thumbsup

Do you have something against Chirac? Did he blow up the twins in NY, or may be he sent the US soldier to die in Iraq just for fun and for some fictitious WMD? Why you are putting him in the same list with Arafat and Bin Laden?
