I clutched a game once as the Soviets at the last capture point. My friend, me and some random guy were the last commies left. There were at least ten krauts left and it drawn out really long because both sides were playing it pretty safe. The random guy got sniped pretty quickly because he was on a mounted MG but he took a couple out. When it was just me and my friend we took it real slow and cleared rooms. The last couple Germans were either camping or trying to sneak around us. Along the way I found an MP40 so grabbed that and when we were clearing the stairs one of the three remaining krauts dropped a grenade down the stairwell and blew my comrade's legs off. I somehow survived and headshot the guy who threw the grenade because he tried shooting at me with his C96 and missed. He should've just ran away. As I was running back to defend the point I met the last two guys in a hallway and sprayed them with the MP40.

It was the scariest experience in a game I've ever had. I wish I was recording because it was so intense.

Probably some group of Russian tanks overran the 37mm pop gun screen and headed straight for the rear of the unit where the artilllery was located .
This T-34 looks like it got stuck with the arty piece and the turret jammed and the crew bailed out .

>>3240282
Sounds reasonable.

In the memoirs of a regiment commander in the Waffen SS I read I rather enjoyed a chapter where the Reds break through, and the old man himself leads a dffense of the HQ, along with the scribes and cooks.

Also had a spiffing chapter where they take a Rusdian captain prisoner - then get him drunk, and get him to reveal their artillery positions through telling him " well, there's no way you can hit us here" - and he goes to explain that they most certainly can, as they have artillery in "precise locations".

I dont even wanna know how it mustve felt as either german or soviet soldiers somewhere in stalingrad close to the end of the war.
Mustve been the worst place to in the world.
Im in the process of scanning old pictures my grandmother inherited me.
From the first days of the fall of berlin. She photographed a lot of russians before managing to flee into the rhineland.
Question /his. Why the hell are 99,9% of the soviet soldiers asian? They all look chinese/mongol. Could it be that the mass rape happened due to the russians sending in hordes of actual steppe barbarians as first waves?
They actually look like golden horde tier mongols. Ill upload a few of the pictures when im done scanning of course.
