When the Germans invade Poland you can start justifying on Finland and the Baltic states.
I have tried to find out, and I have been reading in the MtG dairy, that the faction leader has certain advantages. I ask this because as the USA I am trying to find out if the 200 pp is worth it, in a single player game. Other than the obvious benefits of having more control on who is in the faction, what other benefits are there??? .... Tech sharing? control of exiled troops or gain of manpower from exiles? it would be nice to see a link to the dev diaries involved in this but honestly I would rather see a definitive list of what you get if you take control of the Allies as the USA. Second importance to me, is in general, what advantages you get, in case this is different than what the USA gets (for being special).

Armor, engines, and big guns are generally considered the items that aren't cost-effective to upgrade. Major refits are expensive enough and slow enough that you might as well just build a new ship (and have two ships when you're done).
There used to be a bug like this: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...e-task-forces-stay-in-captured-ports.1167356/ Maybe some variant of the bug has survived; if you have a reproducible test case, you can open a new bug.
At least the suppression garrison (probably other types like coastal garrison too) will attack enemy provinces in its area, but they don't do so in a very coordinated way so it would only work if your garrisons are vastly superior to the enemy. Maybe something like one garrison army with infantry on all coastal tiles plus a small suppression garrison with tanks that mops up any landings could work, but I haven't tried it.

Especially later in the game, the AI becomes very passive with its fleets. Maybe they only have strike forces there, sitting in port. If you are not playing ironman, while the game is paused, you can use the console command "tag ENG" to take a look what they are doing and "tag GER" to get back.
It takes a month for the first delivery to arrive, except fuel which is delivered continuously. Every time the lend-lease is modified, the timer gets reset. You can see the progress in the diplomacy view of a country, by hovering over the lend-lease status on the left side.
Not having to garrison those areas and historical flavor.
