  1. Hmm, very interesting. Are there any notes in the original document concerning how they arrived at the figures they use? The figures for Soviet tank losses are lower than most sources claim. The figures for US tank production are a bit exaggerated.

  2. Published data is different. 10,134 Lend lease tanks through June 1944.
