The T34 was the best tank. Soviet artillery was effective, by sheer weight of numbers, not great accuracy. German officers had great respect for American artillery. "Acquired the target quickly."Yes, Russian production was very important. However, consider the fact that the military output of U.S. industry was barely bettered by the combined efforts of all the other belligerents on both sides.

We had production levels that were unreal. We had GM,Ford,Chrysler,Studebaker,Kaiser,were a few of the largest companies running full war time production while suspending all consumer vehicle production.

While consumer vehicle production was suspended, the U.S. was the only "player" to increase civil industrial output. All the other nations at war cut civil production WAY back.
