What it is a delirium... Do you in general know though anything about a soviet army? My grandfather killed under Stalingrad, and I am nasty from this your Hollywood opinion about sew on armies. Every conscript had a rifle and grenades. AT EACH!!!!! They conducted permanent defensive fights, every soldier was able to dig trenches and tarnshei, there was a "PTRD" and machine gun "DP" in every separation. Our troops did not have the tanks, airplanes and cannons, but rifle weapon it was in surplus. I understand, you know our history badly, but it is needed it would be to honour anything or ask acquaintances from Russia. Detachments NKVD were created only in 1942 on approaches to Stalingrad and over they were unstrung the months. Soldiers were rarely shot, and returned back in the parts. Order 227 used only on approaches to Stalingrad, because soldiers did not maintain German pressure and retreated often. When Germans reached to the city, soldiers did not retreat already, but battled to the last man.
