Actually the Russians have never downplayed this fact. In fact even in the video that Za had provided us of the 1945 Soviet victory parade in front of Stalin, U.S. trucks were present and were carrying Katyusha rockets along with other weapons. Till this day when a WW2 movie is made the viewer can always see American trucks and jeeps carrying Soviet troops to and from the front. Russia has never denied or downplayed the mobile transportation that they received. On the contrary they till this day are very thankful!!
