Soviet Infantry
These are the men who fought ferociously to defend Mother Russia from the German invasion of 1941 through to the fall of Berlin in 1945. Mostly simple peasant soldiers, they were trained to obey orders without question. Their lives were harsh, and their battles stand among the largest and most grueling in history, defined by unimaginable scale and suffering.
In just a few short years, Soviet divisions transformed from a disorganized mass into a fully capable and experienced modern infantry force—a deadly weapon forged in the fires of battle against the German invaders.
"Quantity has a quality of its own," said Joseph Stalin, referencing the sheer numbers of men he could send into the field. Well-equipped with simple yet robust weaponry, the Soviet soldier was a relentless force in attack and an immovable bulwark in defense, as evidenced by the legendary sieges of Leningrad and Stalingrad.
