Office of Lend-Lease Administration

The Office of Lend-Lease Administration was a U.S. government agency established during World War II to manage the distribution of military supplies and aid to Allied countries. Through the Lend-Lease program, the U.S. provided weapons, equipment, and resources to nations fighting against Axis powers, helping them without requiring immediate payment. The office coordinated these efforts, ensuring timely delivery and proper accounting of the aid. This support was crucial in strengthening Allies’ capacity to resist aggression, ultimately contributing to the Allied victory.
