I understood that Frank. :) I just always like to get that bit about SPAM
in whenever I can. I probably shouldn't have started my post with the word
"No", as that obviously led you to think I was disputing something when I
really wasn't Sorry.

I know that The West sent supplies to Russia. Canada sent tanks (I
believe a smallish light tank called the Valentine, made in the Angus
Railway Shops in Montreal was sent over to Russia by the hundreds).
Other countries no doubt sent food and military supplies.
Russia needed troops. And, she needed a second front to open. My
point was simply that Russia was alone in it's fight against Germany
on the Eastern front. Russia paid a higher price (in lives) for WWII
than any other country.
