In fairness, Lend-Lease is much more than Shermans, and in truth the military equipment sent was inconsequential to the Soviet war effort. Yes, a lot of tanks and trucks and airplanes were sent, and this fact is basic curriculum in US schools, but the really significant items did not have wheels. This is not in the basic curriculum, and the opportunity to elaborate on this, IMHO, justifies bending the rules.
