The Unknown War is an American 20-part series that documents the World War II conflict between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
Today, SouthFront shares the 17th part of the series titled “The Allies”. This part highlights the support the Soviet Union received from the United Kingdom and the United States while battling the Nazis.
In July of 1941, a Soviet-British agreement on joint action against Germany and its allies was signed in Moscow, which was the beginning of the formation of the anti-Hitler coalition. Later in August, a military-economic agreement was concluded with the U.S.
Cooperation between the allies reached another milestone in July of 1942, when the Soviet Union and the U.S. signed the historic lend-lease agreement, which allowed for the lending of military equipment, weapons, ammunition, strategic raw materials, and food. The bulk of the deliveries came in 1943-1944.
The U.S., which officially joined the war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December of 1941, would go on to extend its efforts against the Nazis alongside the UK with the Normandy landing operation in June 1944.
The next year, 1945, as the defeat of the Nazis became certain, the leaders of the three allied nations would meet in Crimea’s Yalta to decide on the post-war world order.
