Lots of nationalities use special designations for the first wave of formation to come in contact with the enemy. Storm, Shock, Assault, Strike etc take your pick.

They're called a shock army because their role in Red Army doctrine was that of shock troops. Soviet shock armies were generally infantry and artillery heavy formations with their mobility restricted to pretty much just a head on attack. Their role was to make the initial attack and break the enemy lines, so that more mobile mechanized units could rush through and exploit the breach.

Think of a big blob of guys with submachine guns, engineers for breaching fortifications, and field guns for support, with nary a motorized vehicle in sight. That's a shock army.

Yes, it was quite a shock to everyone.

>>34258804
Wait, why? Context?

>>34258958
Spock was quite a neo-nazi. Also he sang the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.

Star trek aired closer to the end of WWII than Desert Storm is today.
