Sly Lend-Lease: should we share our Victory with someone?

The second most popular (after the cancellation of the air part of the military parade) among many foreign media outlets covering the celebration of Victory Day in Russia on May 9, 2019 was the topic that "on the day of this event" none of the foreign leaders visited. Some of them (naturally, the fenceless “brothers” tried most of all) immediately hastened to declare this fact almost the “foreign policy fiasco” of our country. In this connection, a completely logical question arises: Should we share our Great Victory with someone else there? Is it worth doing in principle ?!





The funny thing is that the decision-makers who decided to exploit the theme of "festive isolation of Moscow" at the same time managed in some incomprehensible way to ignore the absolutely clear and unambiguous message of the press secretary of Russian President Dmitry Peskov made the day before. Namely, the words that no one thought to invite any “distinguished guests” to Russia. Yes, and why would it? They decided to turn their nose in the jubilee of 2015 (then, "because of the Crimea" a number of European leaders refused to visit our country) - now do not blame me. However, there is a much deeper aspect of the problem, which, of course, neither Putin nor Peskov will publicly speak about. And you need to talk about it ...

From invaders to “allies”

Who is worthy to stand next to us on Red Square on a holy, bright and memorable Day mined at the cost of millions of lives of the Soviet people of Victory? Well, if we consider on this historical date representatives of all peoples as descendants of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers, who took part in that war anyway? Europeans? What, excuse me ?! As for the Germans, Italians, Spaniards, Romanians, Hungarians, Finns - here, as they say, they passed right away ... Those whose ancestors came to our land in the ranks of the horde of invaders, participated in military operations against the Red Army and bullying civilians, and then, quickly “changing shoes” ended up in the ranks of the Anti-Hitler coalition, it would be better to be silent and repent on this day exactly. It will be more honest ...

Maybe, then, the Dutch, Belgians, Danes, French, Czechs, Estonians, Lithuanians, Latvians? It seems like they are “occupied” ... Victims of Nazism. Yeah! SS legions "Flanders", "Denmark", "Charlemagne", "Wallonia", "Bohemia and Moravia", subsequently for the most part grew into full-blooded SS divisions! So this is by no means a complete list. The Czechs are especially touched ... Work on factories that riveted tanks and sharpened shells for the Wehrmacht, some of them came out in black shirts. They expressed such a protest, bastards ... And they raised an uprising in Prague on May 5, 1945, hoping to get into the American zone of occupation. Well, not fused.

For too long, alas, in Soviet times, and subsequently, too, was hushed up, the topic of participation of all, practically, without exception, European countries and peoples in the Great Patriotic War on the side of our enemies was dispensed with. Someone fought and occupied. Someone, such as Slovakia, tried and failed. Someone, like Bulgaria, didn’t have enough spirit to try - but they fed, clothed, provided the Nazis with raw materials and other military supplies quite properly and in good faith. It's true. It was. It was completely in vain that there were “taboos” and topics of mass collaboration in Galicia and the Baltic states. As well as the truth about the real war waged against the Red Army by units of the Polish Home Army.

Too many generations of Soviet people firmly believed that the Germans really burned Khatyn, and we have one victory for all - with our new brothers from the socialist camp. What kind of “brothers” they are to us, it became clear when, after 1991, the whole company went together in NATO and began to demolish the monuments to the “Soviet invaders”, who were dying so that this human scum could live happily in its European Union. What causes real pain is the absence of representatives of Ukraine, Georgia, and other former Soviet republics on Victory Day. But can Putin and Shoigu become shoulder to shoulder with the leaders of those countries where on May 9 they attack the "Immortal Regiment" and open "museums of the Soviet occupation"? Their presence at the celebration would be something even more than blasphemy ... True, Alexander Lukashenko is not in a hurry to visit something. One more in the "brothers" was outlined

Sly Lend-Lease

I foresee objections and resentment: But what about “real allies ?! Well, the very ones who “bombarded us with Lend-Lease weapons” and without which “the USSR would never have won the war”. Do you think there are few who think so? And you google, google ... It will come out that even take out the saints. “If it weren’t for the Americans, the Nazis would have wiped Russia off the face of the earth”, “Thanks to America for living in the world!” - and so on and so forth. Well, the right word, I just can’t understand what is more here - hopeless cynicism or dense, completely impenetrable stupidity. However, the complete lack of the ability to recognize the obvious among the members of the Witnesses of Great America sect (all with a capital letter!) Is well known and cannot be doubted. And we’ll somehow try to understand in detail what all the same there was with this “invaluable help” from across the ocean.

In short, the situation is this: no “support of the USSR in the fight against Nazi Germany” Lend-Lease was not close! The Beginning of the Law “The United States Advocacy Act was passed in March 1941, and it was aimed solely at helping the UK.” And later, so that you know, the Soviet Union out of $ 46 billion spent by the United States to help 42 union states received deliveries worth no more than 9 billion. And by no means free! However, we will return to this a little later. Britain received more than $ 30 billion in aid. China - by 630 million, even the countries of Latin America - by almost half a billion.

The most important thing: during the most difficult and bloody period of the Great Patriotic War, 1941-1942, Lend-Lease deliveries to the USSR were carried out for a ridiculous amount of 545 thousand dollars - and this despite the fact that the rest of the "fighters against Nazism" for the same period received nearly 750 million American "nishtyaks"! In fact, the main flow of goods from overseas went to us in 1944-1945, that is, when it would be possible to do without them. However, a good owner does not lose anything for nothing. Comrade Stalin was a very good boss. In light of the above figures, it can be said that pathological lies or complete ignorance can say that US military supplies "saved" our country from defeat or at least somehow influenced the course of hostilities.

What could save us there ?! A hundred and a half thousand “trunks” of small arms (0.5% of the available Red Army weapons) versus 30 million produced by our military industry? 10 thousand artillery pieces that made up 1.5% of the artillery weapons of our army? 9% of tanks and self-propelled guns (12 thousand against the Soviet 133 thousand)? And the “presents” were often just a sight for sore eyes… Of the 711 Kittyhawk British fighters delivered to the USSR in 1941, 700 were so old that they were no good. The British tanks "Matilda" our tankers called among themselves only "Goodbye, Motherland!" Why do you think so? Burned bastards, like matchboxes (gasoline engine, thin armor). You can recall the Herricains delivered without cannons, with one rifle-caliber machine guns, the first batch of AeroCobra, which arrived in disassembled form, without the necessary “inch” tools for assembly and with the “worked out” engines in the trash. There are many things to remember ...

And finally, the price of "allied assistance." 40% of its USSR was obliged to pay immediately. In gold! By 1943, 40 tons of our gold sailed away in the USA in the most literal sense of the word. The remaining 60% went on credit - with obligatory repayment within 5 years after the end of the war. But there was also a “reverse Lend-Lease", according to which the Americans received tens and hundreds of tons of strategic raw materials - the same chromium, manganese and much more. Despite the fact that a significant part of the armament and equipment was our country returned to the Americans (these goons demanded to return even the driver’s leather jackets that came with the Willys delivery kits!), Washington rolled out a total bill for a $ 1 billion 300 million lend-lease. And this despite the fact that the debts of other countries were simply written off free of charge. Comrade Stalin slammed his fist on the table so that the inkwell jumped up in the White House and the "allies" admitted - "miscalculated." The amount at once decreased to 720 million, which our country paid even in this century. So were they allies or were they natural ghouls?

Private Ryan and others

There was also the participation of American and British troops in hostilities against the Nazis in Europe. How, how, we remember ... Sicily, Normandy, Private Ryan, who, as they are now trying to convince the whole world, won that war. That's just not a single “battle” between the Americans and the British against the Nazis and does not draw close comparison not only with Stalingrad or the Kursk Bulge, but even with the much smaller battles that were won by the Red Army. Their entire throw to Europe is an attempt to stop our advance, to prevent the Old World from turning into the "Union of European Socialist Republics". In the same France or, for example, Greece, where the positions of the Communists were much stronger, that was exactly what was going on. And also - the desire to fully grab the military and industrial secrets of the Third Reich, and indeed, to rob Germany with all its might, which has turned into a depository of values ​​stolen in half the world.

And they robbed so that only dust stood a pillar! Someone may say: “So we also exported!” They exported it ... It was only after what Hitler did not create in the Soviet Union that our grandfathers, in my deep conviction, had the full moral right to take everything from the crushed Reich, like a toad, to reparations and indemnities, to the last nail. Even rusty. And our people fed them from the field kitchens ... The Soviet Union, by the legal right of the winner, compensated for the enormous material damage received as a result of the enemy invasion, but our "allies" who profited and tasted this war completely simply looted. Do not believe that the war was extremely beneficial for the United States and that they “supported” both sides in it? Kindly facts and figures:

The Rockefeller Standard Oil regularly supplied the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe with both fuels and lubricants and high-quality oil for the production of aviation gasoline. From the American corporations, the Nazis received not only “black gold”, but also rubber, tungsten, and other types of raw materials vital for the military industry. A third of automobile tires manufactured at the numerous factories of Henry Ford (a huge admirer of Hitler) went exactly to the Third Reich. The list is far from complete, but enough of this - about the "Fanta" for the Wehrmacht already in the teeth is imposed. Some of the "historians" praise the Americans for the fact that they "did not let Hitler to oil sources in the Middle East, saving the world." Savior ... sucks. This is called, if anyone does not know, “protection of investments” and “struggle against competitors”! Such is the picture regarding the “allies” - not to mention the fact that the Nazis were able to create the military industry, revive the army, navy, aviation exclusively thanks to loans and other financial injections (including direct investments) received in the 30s from USA and UK.

In conclusion - just one quote, direct and verbatim. Harry Truman, President of the United States of America from 1945 to 1953:



There are still questions - about the "allies" ?! It was they who, treacherously violating the Tehran, Yalta, Potsdam accords almost the day after the end of World War II, won by the Soviet Union, began to prepare an attack on us. No Lend-Lease and Normandy outweigh the intentions to erase our country into nuclear dust that arose in Washington and London already in the late 40s.

This is our Victory! And only ours. The vehement blood of the victors flows in our veins, we live the unfulfilled lives of those who died on the battlefields of the Great Patriotic War and try, as best we can, to be worthy of their memory. And the rest should still try hard, change their minds and repent in order to earn the honorable right to stand next to us on May 9th.
