The Red Army suffered such catastrophic losses of armor in the summer of 1941 that they begged Britain and the United States to send tanks. The first batches arrived in late 1941, just in time to take part in the defense of Moscow. The supplies of British tanks encompassed a very wide range of types including the Matilda, Churchill, and Valentine and even a few Tetrarch airborne tanks. American tanks included the M3 (Stuart) light tank and M3 (Lee) medium tank and the M4 Sherman tank, which became so common in 1944-45 that entire Soviet tank corps were equipped with the type. With these Western tanks, the Soviets were finally able to beat back the German tide in the East. This study examines the different types of tanks shipped to the Soviet Union during the war, Soviet assessments of their merits and problems, and combat accounts of their use in Soviet service using full color artwork, contemporary photographs and detailed cut-away illustrations.… (mais)

By this point in time, I suspect that Steve Zaloga can write these booklets in his sleep, though I personally appreciate the time he takes to explain his archival research and sources; more of Osprey's authors should take this step. As for the topic itself, the overarching question is how essential were the AFV's Washington and London supplied Moscow, as opposed to the fleets of trucks that helped motorize the Red Army. Short answer: Anything that Stalin could get for the defense of Moscow was valued. Once domestic production ramped up again, American and British tanks fell in the category of nice to have but not essential. From there, Zaloga digs deeper in what the Soviet assessment of each type they received, and how the vehicles were distributed. Most interesting to me was that the single Allied type that was most appreciated by the Soviets was the Valentine, which was actually used as a scout. This was closely followed by the diesel-powered M4A2 Sherman, most valued for its automotive reliability, and a commentary on the lack of durability of Soviet wartime production tanks. ( )
