a joke of
Knowledge as a reliable source for well documented non contentious issues such as WW2. This is compounded by the facts in the data tables where the actual numerical Soviet contribution is at odds with the introductory text, Furthermore, the language used is inappropriate, using only strong positive statements about Britain and making the USSR look like a victim. When one considers that the Britush Empire came out of the war broken while the USSR stepped up to superpower status the misrepresentation is clear. The Anglo Saxon focus suggests that this is the 'western' bias unfortunately only too common on Knowledge. This is compounded by the complete absence of any mention of China, not only in the text but in the tables, which adds the charge of racism. The many data tables provided are interesting and possibly informative so it would be a huge improvement if the article was rewritten as a data reference source and the unreliable, biased and unnecessary introductory "context" paragraphs are cut out altogether . There are plenty of far superior free proper histories for "context". This should be re written as a data set. There is work to be done on the numerical data as well, for example from the economic data presented it is suggested that the British colonies alone had a higher gdp than the USSR for most of the war. This is simply not plausible. It is also implausible that there are no figures for the Chinese contribution at least at the gross level of manpower and gdp.

This article is poor quality. In the entire introductory text there is no mention of the USSR, until the end and even there it gets a quarter of the text on
Britain. Any article about the big picture of WW2 that so downplays the Russian contribution is not only nonsense, it's obvious nonsense, making

Note: The article is for naval production from
Anschluss (12 March 1938) to signing of the surrender of Japan (2 Sep 1945). So, many vessels that were a few days or months outside of this spectrum like Essex-Class Leyte weren't counted.
