1) Without Lend Lease Moscow falls in 1941 and the rest of the USSR in 1942. Yes they put armed men, tanks and artillery into the meat grinder without regard to life or limb. Lend Lease is the only reason they had guns, bullets, artillery, planes, and tanks
2) Germany’s refusal to develop a long range bomber despite their desire for “living space” in the East cost them the war with Russia.
3) Germany’s failure to develop a simple fighter that had a better turning radius than the British fighters cost them the Battle of Britain and air superiority over the continent. This made D Day possible.
4) Germany’s over reliance upon U Boats to control and limit both the flow of goods from the US to the continent and defend the coast may have been their greatest mistake. Regardless of Lend Lease, If Germany could have sustained control of both the commercial shipping lanes as well as the sea coasts / ports, England starves and Russia runs out of bullets, guns, artillery, tanks, etc.
One of the most interesting topics Indy dives into during the WW2 week by week series is the war machine data.
