February 19, 1942
TO THE PRESIDENT FROM MR. STALIN
I have received your message informing
me of consignments of armaments from the
United States for January and February.
I would like to emphasise the fact that
at the present moment, when the peoples of
the Soviet Union and its army are exerting all their powers to thrust back, by their
determined offensive, Hitler's troops, the fulfilment of American deliveries, including tanks and
aeroplanes, is of the utmost impotrance for our common cause, for our further
successes.
