American lend-lease vehicles/weapons?

[Dwin]

Does anyone know if American lend-lease weapons/vehicles were used in any capacity during the Battle of Stalingrad? I think it would be neat to see some Soviet Shermans or bazookas in battle.

American lend-lease weapons weren't used in large scale in the Ostfront, but American trucks were widely used in the front after Kursk, especially in Bagration. I don't know if any American weapon or vehicle was actually used in Stalingrad, because most of the belic shipments arrived by the middle of 42(until then it was mostly food), and my guess is that Murmansk was way too far from Stalingrad to make the lend-lease supplies get there in time.

The USSR was highly dependent on rail transportation, but the war practically shut down rail equipment production: only about 92 locomotives were produced. 2,000 locomotives and 11,000 railcars were supplied under Lend-Lease. The USSR had a pre-war stock of over 25,000 locomotives and 600,000 railcars. The Lend-Lease stock did not start being shipped until 1944. [citation needed] Likewise, the Soviet air force received 18,700 aircraft, which amounted to about 14% of Soviet aircraft production (19% for military aircraft).[7]

Although most Red Army tank units were equipped with Soviet-built tanks, their logistical support was provided by hundreds of thousands of U.S.-made trucks. Indeed by 1945 nearly two-thirds of the truck strength of the Red Army was U.S.-built. Trucks such as the Dodge 3/4 ton and Studebaker 2

Goes great with eggs. If I were a soviet soldier eating lend lease spam, I would be living like a king.

Maybe we will see Willy Jeeps just like the ones in Darkest Hour except there's a Red Soviet Star on the motorcap.
And finally with this the K

The only references to Willys jeep in the Ostfront I've seen were in data made after the battle of Kursk. BTW, did the Red Army use Bren Carriers that widely as we see in ROOST?
