SPAM saved the Russians!

According to my history text book, SPAM was a major contributor to the Russian victory over the Nazis. Hmmm... Not quite sure how they worked that one out. It made me laugh though. SPAM actually tastes quite nice. It was just the way they put it in the book. First they talked about Russian acheivements in the 1930s, then they said there was another great development by an American company, which was SPAM. Well, everyone's entitled to their own opinion I guess. And I suppose if all the soldiers had starved, they'd never have one the war. You just have to admit though, it does sound a little bit far-fetched...
