WW2: USA's Aid to the Soviets
"Through their organized efforts the American people must make the policy of the American government a genuine policy of friendship and collaboration with the Soviet Union, a policy that gives all aid to the Soviet and British peoples.. Stop all government attacks on the Communist Party!" (The Communist Magazine, 1941)
Soviet historiography was tasked with a campaign of minimizing the importance of Western aid: Such propaganda was used as a ploy to influence domestic and world public opinion about the Soviet Union’s exclusive, great 'single-handed' defeat of the Axis.”
From the start of its war with Germany until the end of September 1945 when Lend-Lease was terminated, the Soviet Union had received 17.5 million tons of supplies with a value of over 10 billion US dollars, the transportation of these goods had cost the Americans another 700 million dollars. The value of British aid received by the USSR stood at $1.5 billion.
