i didn’t said this article in particular is commie propaganda, but why does ensign have the need to justify himself….my comment was just a respond on his: “All the people that are usually yelling “Russian bias! Get out of here with your communist propaganda!” the moment I post anything. Though, the night is young, there is hope for them yet.”
Just read the last sentence. Wtf was that supposed to mean? That all he said is true and it’s just the matter of time when we will start to believe it wanted or not?! I sense comme regime there. It’s like you either go to war or to gulag. There is no 3rd option. Same here, either you believe everything i pull out of my ass as a proof or you are nazi fanboi.

Hmm, someone seems to have a SHORT memory. Don’t you remember that poll where a majority of people want as many articles as possible and not just he Q&A? Where did you get this ego that makes you think that you can speak for all of us?

Well it’s a little debatable to what degree they’d found their collective arses by late ’41; let’s just say that I recently read Osprey’s book on the less than brilliantly succesful Second Kharkov in May ’42…

Oh yes, on the strategic level, the Red Army was doing abysmally, but on the tactical level, the units that actually had ammunition and fuel were more than capable of standing up to the Wehrmacht. Those are the units that bought enough time for the rest of the country to get its shit together and start pushing the Germans back in late ’41.

I’ve seen photos of a removed/replaced cupola used as a grave marker for dead German troops. The cupola making an impromptu place for flowers etc.
Perhaps the guy should have recorded where he found it as there are probably some human remains underneath.

In the grand scale of things it kind of was, given that the Soviets lost most of their existing forces in the West and obscene amounts of territory. Scattered local successes hardly altered *that*.
‘Course, turned out they could take that kind of pummeling and keep standing which AFAIK soon started to worry the more astute among the German commanders – as did the initially isolated but multiplying signs of the Red Army starting to get its shit together.
