Without America, the “grandfathers” wouldn’t have just failed to “reach Berlin”—they likely wouldn’t have held the line at the Volga either. And instead of heroic marches with cardboard portraits of “grandfathers” on sticks, there would have been a silent procession holding signs that read “Lend-Lease never arrived.” Instead of fanfares—only the absence of Studebakers that never made it from Murmansk.
