and much loved too !! they were the most appreciated piece of hardware ,
just before the tins of corned beef

Indeed, although many people still do not realize this. The fact that Russia never did acknowledge just how vital those trucks were is a major reason why, IMHO.

yes !! it turn out that 10 russians soldiers lives is worth... a truck .
it make one feel comforted to be a valued allied .
but then again , most U.S. citizens probably don't knows that the russians were fighting a war

true ..most americans would have been apalled if they knew how much value stalin and russian general staff placed on the lives of the poor hapless russian soldiers..even the poor souls who endured years of privation in german pow camps only to be rewarded with relocation to russian slave labor camps in sunny siberia...

 

Especially since most of them had wound up as POWs due to Stalin's idiotic orders in 1941.
