Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. (№ 398675)

Let me give you another document. This is the report of the International Commission on reparations from Germany headed by I. M. Maisky, prepared in February 1945. The objectives of the Commission included the definition of the formula, according to which a defeated Germany had to reimburse the damage to the victorious powers. The Commission came to the following conclusion: "the amount spent by Germany on the Soviet front soldato-days exceeds the same number in all the other allied fronts at least 10 times. The Soviet front was also delayed four-fifths of the German tanks and about two thirds of the German aircraft". In General, the share of the USSR accounted for about 75 percent of all military efforts of the coalition. The red army during the war "milled" 626 divisions of the axis, of which 508 are German. 28 April 1942 Roosevelt in his address to the American nation said: "Russian forces have destroyed and continue to destroy more manpower, planes, tanks and guns of our enemy, than all the other United Nations put together." Churchill's message to Stalin on September 27, 1944, wrote that "it was the Russian army that tore the guts out of the German military machine...".
