Now most lend lease losses were actually English to Russia in the north sea, American lend lease was through Iran mostly (Something new to me) And our losses were at around 7%
Now in furthering my research I contend that (IF) Lend lease saved Russia it was in the 41' 42' time frame. But I am finding that there are so many variables that even experts cant agree.
In that period the Russians were still rebuilding their factory's that they uprooted and shipped east beyond the Germans rapid advance.
More research continues!
And Eddie, I would assume that those loco's were sent in pieces and assembled at destination.
