INCONVENIENT HISTORY The Russians also tend to have selective memories when World War II is the topic of the day.

Bolshevik Occupied Russia killed 20 times as many Russians in peacetime as did the Germans during the Reich’s pre-emptive war. This broke out as Stalin was massing the Red Army for an attack on Germany from the East.  

The Bolshevik Armies outnumbered the German invaders by 1/3rd (3 million vs 4.5 million).  Over 1 million overwhelmed Red Army troops immediately surrendered.

The Reich armies reached Moscow in 16 weeks. Even with the massive Capitalist countries’ aid, it took the Red Army two years to reach Berlin.

QUOTE: ‘The victory over Nazi Germany was achieved through the economic power of the United States, which, for reasons that defy logic, made the ultimate sacrifice to keep in power a regime as brutal as their Nazi enemy.’

Russia’s Life-Saver: Lend-Lease Aid to the U.S.S.R. in World War II. By Albert L. Weeks. Lexington Books, New York, 2004.

On Capitalist England 5,000 tanks, 7,000 fighter aircraft, 15,470,000 pairs of Red Army boots, and 4 million tons of other aid. 

Also included are 550 Royal Air Force-trained pilots. These essentials to ensure the continuation of terrifying blood-soaked Bolshevism were carried by 1,400 merchant ships in 78 convoys.

These were the world’s greatest armada.  Of these, 101 were lost with their crews. 

Stalin’s Shopping List Included

Included 7,500 tanks, 132,000 machine guns, 11,155 rail-road wagons and 2,000 railway locomotives (used for Gulag deportations, ethnic cleansing, as were U.S. trucks). 35,000 motorcycles

345,000 tons of explosives, bombs, etc., 105 submarine hunters, 90 merchant ships, 197 torpedo boats, 7784 ship engines, food 4,475,000 tons, tires 3,786,000. (This list is incomplete.

Raping Red Arm marched in British-made boots and uniforms

Bolshevik Occupied Russia received 450,000 military vehicles from the Capitalist U.S., Britain and Canada.  It was said that the Red Army marched in British-made boots. The full list of supplies is far too lengthy to itemize here.

Heroic Red Army? Really?

This was the same ‘invincible’ Red Army that had been routed and defeated by a farmer’s army when Stalin invaded the Finnish motherland in 1939. 

A Red Army that had then crushed, plundered and occupied Poland, tiny Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, and a score of other Eastern European nations. 

It is what Bolsheviks impudently call ‘defending their motherland.’  It is what the Capitalist West describes as a liberation.

Breathtaking amounts of aid

101 Allied Ships and crews were sunk

A total of 1,400 vessels plied the route in 78 convoys between August 1941 and May 1945; 101 ships were lost. Belfast’s own sister ship, HMS Edinburgh, was sunk near Murmansk.

The first convoy was carrying a very special cargo. By September 1, 550 pilots and ground crew from No 151 Wing of the RAF arrived in Murmansk.

With them were delivered 40 Hawker Hurricane fighters, the planes that, together with the Spitfire, had won the Battle of Britain.

Britain Saves Private Stalin

Their objective was to provide immediate air defense against the Axis forces that had launched Operation Silver Fox in the hope of capturing this vital port.

They were also there to train Soviet pilots to operate the first of what would eventually total almost 3,000 Hurricanes delivered to the Soviets.

For their efforts, four pilots in 151 Wing would become the only Britons in the Second World War to receive the Order of Lenin, among them New Zealand-born Wing Commander Henry Ramsbottom-Isherwood, who later served in Burma.

QUOTABLE QUOTES: Marshal Georgy K. Zhukov, in memoirs published on Monday, says that the US aid to the Soviet Union during World War II was crucial to the victory over Nazi Germany. Zhukov’s assessment was important since he was the chief of the Soviet general staff and knew all the major details of Moscow’s military effort.

‘We would have been in a difficult position without American gunpowder; we could not have produced the quantities of ammunition we needed,’ he said.

‘Without US Studebakers (trucks) we would have had nothing with which to pull our artillery.

They largely provided our transport at the front…   producing steels, necessary for the most diverse needs of war, also involved certain US supplies.’ ~ Josef Stalin, published in the Los Angeles Times, October 20, 1987.

‘Your decision, Mr President, to give the Soviet Union an interest-free loan of $1 billion to secure the supply of military equipment and raw materials to the Soviet Union was taken by the Soviet Government with heartfelt gratitude as urgent aid to the Soviet Union in his huge and hard struggle against a common enemy.’ ~ Soviet Dictator Josef Stalin to US President Franklin D. Roosevelt (November 1941).
