VastaaPoistaHi, Rodger.
PoistaYes. The amount of aid is really very awesome,
and, moreover, also of the Soviet Union own production at work the full capacity
at the same time and at full power.
Allies help means, soviet can breathe a little more freely,
and use tanks and planes the war food table,
until they own production is large enough...
American food aid to Russia will start already in 1918, and will continue throughout the period almost up to the (Winter War?) cold war time.
PoistaChurchill tanks are use Finland fronts too, soviet troops uses in June 1944 attack.
VastaaPoistaNot quite the sharp tip, but immediately behind of tip, and the cover was flat, on top the wagon to ride lot soldiers.
Wow, that was a lot of stuff they got.
VastaaPoistaHi, S-K
Poista:) Nice to hear from you
This list a maybe little flawed,
because the English sent a lot of the Hurricane (2500 + 7-800) Mk-II and newer
spitfire, as well as older models as well as a lot of trainers
who work near Leningrad Front
But, in my mind, these not belong Lend-Lease helps,
Instead, the English sent by clothing, backpacks and guns now
specifically mentioning.
And many cannons too, still, while they themselves also needs
In the years 1942-1943 one the most common type of Soviet fighter Finnish fronts was the Hurricane Mk-II and newer, as well as 1942-1944 Airacobra (end of war), plus their own, like I-16 and newer models.
VastaaPoistaThese were greeted by Finnish Morane-Saulnier, Fiat G50, Curtiss 75, and Brewster, also some Me-109 machines 1943 begins and 1944 much more
