Is there a way that the Soviet Union might supply the Western Allies with the T-34 design in WW2? It was superior to most Western tanks until the end of the war and was easily mass-produced.
Granted, Stalin would be reluctant to part with such a powerful bargaining chip, but there might be reasons - in exchange for jet technology from Britain, say, or if the war was going very badly for the USSR and they needed Allied victories in the Med to relieve the pressure. Perhaps if the Soviets had gone ahead with the T-44 design unlike OTL and had believed it sufficiently superior to the T-34 that they could afford to let the Allies build the latter?
