Description

|
|
What was life in the Red Army like for the ordinary soldier during the "Great Patriotic War," the fight between the Soviet Union and Germany in World War II? How far is the reputation of Russian heroism and sacrifice borne out by historical reality? And what was the daily experience of the individual soldier caught up in this immense and ruthless conflict? This visual history boasts 160 rare and previously unpublished photos from Russian archives, offering a striking insight into all sides of wartime service for the Soviet soldier. The full range of military experience is portrayed here, from recruitment and the rigors of training to transport, marching, and the ordeal of combat.
