The text was compiled on the basis of the diary entries of Vladimir Ivanovich Trunin, about which we have already told our readers more than once. This information is unique in that it is transmitted first-hand, from a tanker who went through the whole war on a tank
Who was not taken to the front and why during the Great Patriotic War
Did you know that during the Great Patriotic War, not all men liable for military service fell under the draft. Moreover, representatives of some peoples were considered unreliable, since they easily became accomplices of the Germans. Who was not called up to the front, even in spite of the plight of the Red Army?
Was the USSR ready for the Great Patriotic War?
Speaking about the military-technical readiness of the USSR for war, it is difficult to find accurate data on the quantity and quality of weapons. Assessments of the development of the country's military-industrial complex differ: from the widespread "war caught the USSR by surprise" to "the forces of the parties were approximately equal." Neither one nor the second is true: both the USSR and Germany, of course, were preparing for war
How the USSR met victory in the Great Patriotic War
For most Soviet citizens, it was clear that defeat in a war meant death. Therefore, the long-awaited victory was perceived as salvation and a new life
