Actually the Lend-Lease Act didnt come in till well after Stalingrad. It was after the Battle of Kursk, during the Soviet offensives that rolled across Eastern Europe in late 43-44. That was when much of the Soviet Union's industry was spent and needed to be revitalized. Until that period, however, it was all the USSR and Stalin working alone... the main battles of the war (Stalingrad and Kursk) were Soviet only.
@June28July The Lend Lease was signed much earlier but it did not come in (meaning the raw material and industrial might) did not arrive in the Soviet Union and enter service until after Stalingrad, in 1943. Yes, Lend Lease was signed earlier, much earlier but it was meaningless to the Soviet Union until later in the war.
@Ermal8711 'bs' Soviet Union would not have to build factorys or train workforce prior arrival of these materials. All of soviet first-class aviation gasoline supplied by the US. Rubber for the their tires, aluminum, fully 1/3 of their munitions, over 500,000 trucks which were all far better than any they produced (about 200,000) Almost all telephone communication was over US phones late in the war. The soviets produced 92 locomotives during the war. They got 2000 through lend-lease.
Definitely 5 Stars! The Eastern Front of WW2 was one of the biggest battle fronts in the entire history of warfare. I've studied Military History for over 30 years and the Nazi/Soviet battles were as horrific as they were terrific. Thanks ZXWAR for posting all these great videos!

Where are you getting the timing of lend-lease from?

This does not answer my question. I'm asking for a source.
