Delivery route of goods between the United States and Russia in WWII
The Pacific Route was a delivery route used during World War II to move goods, particularly Lend-Lease goods from the United States to the Soviet Union.
This commenced in October 1941, though some goods had been moved prior to this under the "cash and carry" agreement.
The route was affected by the start of hostilities between Japan and the US in December 1941, but was not interrupted as Japan and the Soviet Union maintained a strict neutrality towards each other for the duration of the conflict, changing only in August 1945.
Due to this neutrality the goods could be moved only in Soviet-flagged ships, and, as they were inspected by the Japanese, could not include war materials. The route was therefore used to transport foods, raw materials and non-military goods such as lorries and other road vehicles, railway locomotives and rolling stock.
It was also the most practical route for goods and materials produced in the US western states.
During the conflict the Pacific Route saw a steady stream of goods moved from the west coast of the United States and overall accounted for some 50% of all Lend-lease goods to the Soviet Union.[1]
The route closed in September 1945 with the end of the conflict and the cessation of the Lend-Lease scheme.
