To Owen_D photos First's comment: training of military reserves. Second's comment: Before final assault of Koenigsberg. Commandment of 11th Guards Army at scale model of city-fortress (in center - commander colonel general Galitskiy K.N.).

 

Great shot!
(and perhaps shows how many PTRS/PTRD were issued)

Thank you very much Deadb_tch.
Obviously Navigation is a bit random for me as I don't follow the language but it's finding them in the first place that proves really tricky. I've already seen some fine images on those ones.



If u need a translation - just lemme know u can point to some navigation element and I'll tell you what it means.

 

Koenigsberg 1945, hell of a battle.
We had a member on here who thought the Red Army was a rabble.
This photo shows some of the detailed preparation the Red Army took before an attack which goes to show how wrong he was.
Thanks for those links.

U'll be surprized but at my opinion USSR has won the war by several reasons - and not a last was that we have very big population, so having such count of soldiers often made generals and commanders not to count how much of them will die in operation. This reason showed itself in operation assault of Berlin, when Zhukov following Stalin order tried to capture it before USA soever. No matter how many will die. Offcourse (!) soviet commanders learned alot during a war, but it must be noticed that not everyone started war like master of commandment I think there must be very flexible opinion - in some operations Red Army was a rabble just overwhelming germans with count not by a skills of commander , in some - it was a genius plans and very good scenarios and also great numbers of soldiers

 

Oh, i've found some winter photos of technics around our diorama. Photos done at year 2004 march. Lets see:



This photo was shoot at public celebration of City's Day Of Freeing from German Agressors in year 2005 august.

Good Lord, a man from the Great Country. Please accept my hearty and belated welcome!

I come in this forum very rarely now as I am going under difficult personal circumstances, but the fact you are here is another incentive for me.

Again, be very welcome!

 

No, Miguel, he is from Russia, not Alabama.

 

Please do tell us more. Many of us want to visit, but don't know where to start.

One of the best museums & best websites is the tank museum located in Kubinka, Russia, which is about 25 miles west of Moscow. (just about the farthest place the Germans got to - coincidence?)

The website is Tank museum, Kubinka, Russia and it has lots of pictures, and is IN ENGLISH TOO! Most of the Russian museums have only Soviet made stuff, but this one has British, American & German as well. (and Canadian!)

Yes, yes and again yes! Kubinka is a great tank museum. To be honestly I'll be glad to visit it because i've heard a lot and viewed pics but never have been there Offcourse Kubinka is a biggest tank museum in Russia and as I know no other can be compared with it

Oh you have no idea how disappointed I was! Stuck in Moscow for a whole day on my way to Kiev, but I couldn't leave the airport without a visa! :sign_lame::sign_blah::m13::m6:Maybe next time I will get to Kubinka...

I flew on Areoflot, Vancouver-Moscow-Kiev. I think they even have Valentine tanks in Kubinka, most of the Russian ones were built here in Canada. It seems that the Russian army liked the Valentine but not the Grant tank (coffin for 7 brothers!)

Yes true, but some are worse than others... If I had to be in a tank (or AFV) I'd rather be in this one.
