You might be right about the losses. Looking through it again, I see sources listing around 400,000 trucks and jeeps arriving until either the end of the war (September, 1945) or March, 1946, while other sources list around 300,000 until the end of the war in Europe. Though I don't think the amount sent after the end of the war in Europe could amount to so much... Anyway, I agree that if Lend-Lease saved the Russians it was in 1941 and 1942, but don't forget that it wasn't just Soviet production that was rebuilding but Lend-Lease also didn't start arriving in large quantities until 1943 and 1944. Whatever the actual number of trucks that arrived were, only about 10%-20% of them arrived in 1941 and 1942, and over half of them arrived after 1944.
