Mq, here is my followup post on US Army trucks. Did you know that the Soviets in WW II launched many of their famous Katyusha rocket salvos from US-made Studebaker army trucks? President Roosevelt sent thousands of these vehicles to Stalin under the Lend-Lease Act, and the Red Army chased the Germans all the way to Berlin with the help of Comrade "Studer"... Katyusha rocket launcher en.wikipedia.org BM-13N Katyusha on a Lend-Lease Studebaker US6 2+1/2-ton 6×6 truck, at the Museum of the Great Patriotic War, Moscow (2006) Studebaker US6 2½-ton 6×6 truck en.wikipedia.org Large numbers of Studebaker US6 trucks were supplied to the Soviet Union via the Persian Corridor in Iran under the USA's Lend-Lease program. The truck fulfilled many important roles in service with Soviet military forces during the war, such as towing artillery pieces and anti-tank guns and transporting troops over long distances. It was renowned for its overall ruggedness and reliability, including its ability to run on poor-quality fuel. The Soviet Red Army also found them to be a suitable platform for conversion into Katyusha rocket launchers, although this was not their main purpose. The truck became affectionately known as the Studer by Soviet troops and was even recognised of its importance (to the Soviet war effort) by Joseph Stalin, who sent a personal letter of appreciation to Studebaker, in which he thanked it for the superb quality of the US6 for Soviet service.
