| I see where you got this, from this beautiful Engines of the Red Army in WW2 site, from the links and sources section. The actual source is http://www.geocities.com/mark_willey/lend.html and I had already seen it elsewhere in a place I did not like*. If you backtrack a bit you'll reach http://www.geocities.com/mark_willey/ A bit tendentious, to say the least, even Gen. Marshall of the Marshall plan was a communist according to this guy... * Aha! Found it! How Wars Are MADE: From Major Jordan's Diaries - Chapter 1 Now see backtrack again and see what SweetLiberty means... How Wars Are Made | Index Issues Index http://www.sweetliberty.org/ That's right, we're in pure Indian Country...  If you accept that Harry Hopkins accusation from people like these, prepare to swallow a lot more than you bargained for

Not swallowing it, just stating that there is alot of it on the net. As with many "stories" they tend to result from one site or one opinion. People being sympathetic to a cause can often be construed as something that it is not.

The denial pages that flood the internet are a great example.

| By the way, this may have been mentioned in the past here, but I found Soviet War Production an interesting article.

 | Kyt has lent me a book on the Indian Army , A Roll Of Honour by Maj-Gen Elliott. Has a short passage regards Lend-Lease convoys from Iran into Russia. Hope it's not too blurred. I'm impressed by the totals. Number of lorry loads 11 739. 42 840 tons of supplies to Russia. Total miles covered by RIASC drivers, 18 000 000. A couple of Indians were even awarded Soviet Decorations. Last edited by Owen; 26-06-2007 at 09:11 AM. |
