This is interesting..
I am sure Stalin did more then provide Air support.
This begs the question about other involvement from ground troops the Russians provided.
Such as tank commanders, military advisors, leadership structure, munitions,
cannons, anti-aircraft guns, especially Radar Controlled anti-aircraft guns and cannons.
Was their any Navy equipment or submarines?

Oh ! Really. So there were no Russian advisors and no Russian Pilots. Well, that will be news to a lot of us.


Back in 1950, a Sgt. from the 5th RCT USA, looked into a knocked out T-34 and to his surprise, he was looking down at a dead Russian in full uniform.   He removed some of the emblems from the uniform as he could not lift the body out by himself.

He turned in the items at the rear and that was the last he ever saw them or heard about his find.  Up until a few years ago, that Sgt. was still alive, as he wrote about the tank in one of the Assn newsletters.
