Although the total tonnage of American lend-lease supplies to the Soviet
Union amounted to only seven percent of the total supplies consumed by the
Soviet Union during the entire war, Russian historian Alexander S. Orlov
acknowledges that supplies received during 1941 and 1942 amounted to closer to 90 percent of what some front line units had to fight with.
