There were three Lend Lease routes into the USSR:
- Murmansk-Arkangelsk
- Persia
- across the Bering strait on Soviet flagged ships, non-belligerent to Japan.
Can anyone point me to traffic statistics showing the relatine importance of the three?
I have read somewhere (where?) that the M.-A. route was maintained for political motives only, as the loss rate was very high, and the other routes were more than good enough.
Cheers,
