Medvedev is playing the counter here. He should be on his knees for the lend lease. The amount of shit the Soviets got, allowed them to survive Stalingrad (1942) and Kursk (1943).
The reason for it? The Soviets were incapable of creating and producing advance explosives, engines, tanks and planes, and parts. It was an industrial backwater, thanks to Stalin's Purges.
When looking at the fighting quality of the soldiers: i.e: German vs Soviet, German vs American, German Soldiers were topnotch.
The fact that they eventually ended up in Berlin could not have been done without the vast material support the US provided. It sure is a miracle.
