American material for Russia carried by truck through Persian corridor.

American material for Russia carried by truck through Persian corridor. North and southbound truck convoys, hauling American lendlease supplies through Iran for delivery to the Sovjet Union, pass on the switchback that climbs from the southern desert to the central plateau of the Persian Corridor. By rail and truck, over some of the most difficult terrain in the world, at least 4,380,000 tons of American war equipment and goods have been moved through this area for use by Russian forces battling the Germans to the north. In this Middle Eastern theater, Russian, Britisch and American troops labor shoulder to shoulder for the defcat of the common enemy. NI 6577
