I just hate to lend things as I rarely get them back!
During the war the US government lent equipment to the allies. Included in these shipments were jeeps! Lots and lots of jeeps.
Lots of jeeps went overseas to help the Allies win the war against the Axis nations.

How many of these jeeps are still in the country that lend-leased them?
