since B6 stopped managing the CoD/BoM forums, our english 1C forums have been left in a bit of an information vacuum. so all we can do is wait for now

Back on track

This is reminding me the old Cold War years "Kremlinology"

From Wikipedia:

"Lack of reliable information about the country (USSR) forced Western analysts to "read between the lines" and to use the tiniest tidbits, such as the removal of portraits, the rearranging of chairs, positions at the reviewing stand for parades in Red Square, the choice of capital or small initial letters in phrases such as "First Secretary", the arrangement of articles on the pages of the party newspaper "Pravda" and other indirect signs to try to understand what was happening in internal Soviet politics...."

Change "country" by "BOM", "Pravda" by "Sukhoi.ru" and "First Secretary" by "Project Manager" and There you are...... Back to the Cold War!

Someone should change the name for this thread to something like "Who TF won WW2 whine-fest".

The real contribution of Lend&Lease was the provision of the logistic part of an army (trucks, food, radios and other technical systems etc) so that the Soviet industry could concentrate fully on producing the sharp tip (aircraft, tanks, artillery). Without either the sweeping offensives of late 1943 and 1944 would not have been possible with the results we know.
