Fuck everyone criticizing the Red Army, my grandpa fought in Finland and Stalingrad. While the motivations of the Soviet Politburo were corrupt and many crimes against humanity were committed, the truth of the matter is if the Soviet Union would have not turned back Hitler's Germany, the world would be a very different place today. Political motivation has nothing to do with retributions for crime against your fellow men. What would the US do if another country invaded it and killed millions of it's people i wonder? I live in the US and the amount of ignorance for history and human kind i see almost every day is staggering. Before you shout out your dumfuck inbred comments go read a history book and research what really happened. That is not to say i don't love this country, i am shipping off to marine corps basic this summer, but it pains me to see how ignorant some people are, these brave men and women gave everything they had to rid the world of evil only to return and face the evils of a doomed empire, so have some respect!

RedArmy was the TRUE HERO of WWII.
RedArmy won the war without nobody's help.
US and so called "allies" were playing dirty game of waiting and hoping that nazis will destroy USSR. They knew all the details about concentration camps and didn't move a finger.
"d-day" was nothing but a cheap spectacle to make it to Berlin and be part of a "winning" army. Remember, it was not in 1942 or 1943....but in JUNE 1944, less than a year before the end of WWII.
Battle of Stalingrad, battle of Kursk and every single other battle on russian soil was 100 times more important than the over-hyped d-day.
American media, books...is full of hype on WWII....'WE won WWII...", every single book, every single coffee table album is 95% of HYPE about the very unimportant role of US army, and only 2-4 pages about the REAL FRONT, the REAL WAR, the REAL army....the Russian Army.
Typical Hollywood crap!!!

It's the soviet army.
So, do I really have to remind you of the female emancipation during the first decades of the Soviet Union?

No. But please do!

The Nachthexen



Die Nachthexen - Pilots from the Russian 588th Night Bomber Regiment

In 1942 the Soviet Union formed three regiments of women combat pilots who flew night combat missions of harassment bombing. They flew obsolete Polikarpov Po-2 biplanes, that were otherwise used as trainers, and which could only carry 2 bombs that weighted less than a ton altogether. They were so successful and deadly the Germans feared them, calling them "Nachthexen" - night witches.

Hauptmann Johannes Steinhoff, the commander of II./JG 52 who was awarded the Oak Leaves to the Knight's Cross for 101 victories on 2 September 1942, wrote: "We simply couldn't grasp that the Soviet airmen that caused us the greatest trouble were in fact WOMEN. These women feared nothing. They came night after night in their very slow biplanes, and for some periods they wouldn't give us any sleep at all."

490,235 women served in the Soviet Red Army during the WWII. 94,662 of them were killed.
