Allied equipment used by Russians

Here is a very complete listing of all the Allied equipment shipped to the USSR during the war years, including railroad equipment, truck, tanks, etc...

Yeah, it's pretty well accepted that the lend-lease trucks supplied to the Russians were instrumental in putting wheels under an important part of the Red Army.

Whether that in return played a decisive role in the final outcome of the conflict on the Eastern Front is rather more difficult to ascertain. Personally I would think no. It may have played a more prominent, but perhaps less obvious role in the post-war shaping of Europe, however.
