在这里有一个疑问，损失了如此多的商船和皇家海军水兵，而这些装备对于苏联红军来说又如同杯水车薪，盟军把他们用到别的地方是不是更好一些呢?

• One must pose, was it all worth the loss of so many Merchant and Royal Navy sailors and could the equipment, a mere drop in the bucket compared to the vast quantity needed by Soviet forces, have been better used elsewhere by the Allies?
