MARCH 11, 1941 - the, ''Act to Promote the Defense of the United States'' (colloquially, ''LEND LEASE'') was passed by the United States Congress - affording a carte blanche to the NEW DEALER govt to wage war by proxy against the German Reich and ANY country declared to be part of the ''Axis'' conspiracy against peace.
Immediately, MASSIVE military aid and subsidies were transferred to the UK, CHINA, and the self-declared ''Government-in-Exile'' of France - BILLIONS in military aid, subsidies, industry, and technology began flooding into the USSR in OCTOBER, 1941.
However, massive financial subsidies were pouring into UK and SOVIET coffers from NGOs and nominally private sources of capital going back over half a decade.
My entire history 'education' was a complete waste of time......for me......not a waste of time or money for those intent on washing my brain.
This is Amazing. Great work guys!
Hell Yeah! Great series.
Stalin was aware an attack was possible, he just assumed the forward deployed forces would deal with it.

Great show guys. Thank you for your effort.
Love this episode. Ty all.
For Christ sake just let t7 do 95% of the talking
Am I mistaken in recalling that the USSR was eligible for lend lease aid even before Operation Barbarossa (let alone before Pearl Harbor)?
My understanding is they signed the first Lend-Lease agreement with the USSR in October, 1941, after Barbarossa started.
