Russians....largely responsible for the defeat of the Nazis on the ground.

I prefer to give credit where credit is due. Thus, it must also be acknowledged that Russia only managed it with immense sacrifice and huge amounts of American aid. Military supplies, trucks, tanks, aircraft and food. Even General Zhukov said that Spam saved the Soviet army from starvation.

True. By 1945 the Russian Army was far more mechanized than the German due primarily to all those Studebaker trucks we sent them.

I still like Spam, but my family thinks I'm crazy.

The Russian called the Spam “the Second Front”.
