"that last point is an important one to remember.
In all classes of military equipment, except motor transport, the Russians produced nearly all of the equipment they used. For example the western Allies supplied the Soviets with 14.000 aircraft during the war, this was about 10% of Russian production. Some 12.000 armored vehicules were supplied, this was about 10 % of Russian production. The western allies also provided some 470.000 motor vehicules, which was about equal to the total German production and considerably more than the Russians themselves produced.
The western Allies also provided considerable amounts of ammunition, raw materials, clothing and food.
But the Russians defeated the Germans using Russian weapons, Russian organization, Russian tactics, Russian leadership and, above all, Russian manpower."
