I agree with you regarding Overy though. He is a little unreliable when it comes to correct information regarding the Eastern Front and German data in particular.

Would you not agree though that the US/UK Lend Lease kept the Soviet railroad system operational?
The only internet site I would trust would be one which has the archives as its source. Wikipedia is not that site. Lend Lease was not felt in significant amounts until 1943 by which time all three turning points had already occurred on the Eastern Front. It helped, it was not critical or decisive.
