If I recall correctly, the Germany air defenses maintained 5000 88's. That by itself probably made it worth it. Also, it turned out to be harder to shoot down the B-17s. They absorbed more punishment then expected. Hitler should have declared war on Japan. Concur on Lend Lease. In 1942, Lend Lease added about 15% to the Sov military power equal to about 1.8 million men. Probably would have prevented the Sovs winning Stalingrad. The interesting thing is that the Soviets only made 2 locomotives during the war. They got about 2000 flat cars which they used to transport armor to different fronts to maintain an offensive tempo.
