Had a proper look... that lend-lease site really is a blinder!
They are some numbers and a half, aren't they.

The remarks by some that Lend Lease was not instrumentally of assistance and major importance to the Soviets amazes me at times.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
