When the Soviets and Germans conducted landings such as in the Crimea and Estonian islands how were the troops got ashore? Did they use landing-craft such as the Western Allies did or ships-boats? Soviets have no special landing crafts. So, ordinary ships and boats were used. Heavy equipmens were landed from transport ships, or were towed on special pontoons after smaller ships... regards, Alex
