"Under the Sign of Scorpion" by Juri - Gnostic Liberation Front

ecapture all the areas Finland had lost during the Winter War of 1939-40.
Not even Peter the Great could defeat the Swedish King Charles XII
without secret aid from England.
The United States of America did not want to declare war on Finland
directly, but in the summer of 1942 the Americans closed their consulates
in Finland and demanded that Helsinki also close its consulates in the
United States. The Soviet Union attacked once more on the 9th of June
1944, this time with American weapons, but Finland managed to resist.
Washington was infuriated. The United States broke off their diplomatic
relations with Finland on June 30th, 1944 to force the little country to
steer a more Soviet-friendly course. Finland continued to defend itself.
Moscow had the impudence to demand 300 million dollars "damages"
from Finland when the Continuation War finished in September 1944.
The French historian Raymond Cartier has made an interesting study,
comparing Hitler's armaments to the equipment, which the United States
sent to Stalin. Germany, in its attack against the Soviet Union, used 1280
aeroplanes, 3330 armoured vehicles and 600 000 cars. In comparison, the
United States sent the following to the Soviet Union during the nine month
period from the 1st of October 1941 to June 1942: 1285 aeroplanes, 2249
armoured vehicles, 81 289 automatic weapons, 30 million kilograms of
explosives, 36 825 cars, 56 445 field telephones and other equipment.
During the entire war, the United States sent a total of 376 000 vehicles
(including 45 000 "Willis" jeeps and 29 000 motorcycles), 29 000 loco-
motives, 12 536 tanks, 17 834 aeroplanes, 130 500 automatic weapons,
240 000 tons of explosives and ammunition, 13 200 revolvers, 2.5 million
tons of petrol and other war materials.
Here I can mention that American cars made up two thirds of the Red
Army's total supply, and that another 43 494 cars were sent from Great
Britain. The Red Army received a total of 419 494 cars and other vehicles.
Only 120 000 cars were produced in the Soviet Union between 1942 and
1944 - thus over three times less than they received from the West.
Neither did they have any trouble with uniforms, because the United
States had 34 million uniforms, including the tsarist army shirts, sewn
with Singer sewing machines. America also delivered 50 million metres of
woollen cloth. The tank drivers wore American overalls. This information
comes from Keesen's "Archiv der Gegenwart" (Part XV, 1945, p. 76)
among other sources.
