Allied assistance of the Soviets during WW2
Upvote:6
FDR had a deep concern that Stalin would make a separate peace with Hitler. That was his motivation in pushing an unconditional surrender agreement among the Allies. For his part, Stalin demanded a second front effort from his partners in the war. Operation Torch in North Africa was the best the unprepared U.S. could muster. The Soviets continued to do the heavy lifting against the Nazis. After Stalingrad perhaps even Hitler recognized that the war was lost to him. But there was much heavy fighting before this happened. So, succinctly, FDR wanted (needed) Stalin to pay the big end of the price of victory. Meanwhile the Allies provided Stalin with material and other assistance to keep him in the battle.
