Early vehicles in the USSR
The USSR was attacked by German (and Rumanian) forces in July 1941 and immediately found itself in dire peril. If the Lend/Lease act was also signed in 1941 there is no mystery that US vehicles of 1942 vintage were in Russian hands even if only for evaluation.
Logically, what eventually became a torrent of materiel flowing to the USSR started off as a trickle and quite likely earlier than generally thought. Where was the photo of all those trucks taken Jan? There must be a thousand or more in that park. If 90,000 Studebakers were sent to the USSR this photo gives an inkling of the scale of the operation. David
