Lend Lease eh?

I feel it was very significant to the war effort in Europe.

My grandfather was a Captain of a Merchant Marine ship--the SS Fort Lee. I dont know how many convoys he made, but as his war service indicates (by his decorations) he was all over the globe.

He shipped anything from small arms-to medicines-to fuel oil to food, blankets, GMC Trucks, Willies Jeeps, artillery ammo etc.

He made more than a few trips to Murmansk and off loaded what ever it was he had. If the Russians not had all those trucks--jeeps etc, they never could have mounted as large scale of attacks as they did. No doube the Germans would have forught them to a standstill or flat out-made uncle joe sue for peace.

My father, flew aircraft over to Russia too.
