How did Russians accepted Western-Allied tanks?! That kind of 'helf' was not such... I think they'd loved if they would have been given twenty jeeps instead of a Sherman...

Milch recorded in his diary the destruction of 1,800 Soviet aircraft on the first day, followed by 800 on June 23, 557 on the 24th,351 on the 25th, and 300 on the 26th.
And this was not because the Luftwaffe became more incompetent, but because there were not enough Russian planes to shoot down!
