I "braided" chtoli? clearly wrote. that this is my first association when I saw the photo. I at least said what I think. I saw the war. I fought. and I look at these photos from the perspective of the Chechen war and imagine, even if only one percentage. but you hardly fought and your idea of ​​war is most likely built on the basis of photographs. you will catch the essence. grief and devastation is what I saw. this is what war always brings. and you are trying to put yourself as a moderator. a step away from the topic type retreated.

          You, of course, excuse me, but your association (photo with views of Grozny) is a little out of place in the topic about Stalingrad, and further "bazaars" fought, did not fight, all the more you do not paint.

          My grandfather went through the whole war and his brother. So on the ninth of May I went to congratulate them in turn, it would seem such a day, two front-line soldiers, two brothers should sit at the same table, celebrate a holiday, share memories. No, on this day they were just drinking alone. Neither one nor the other ever said anything about the war. And I so wanted to go to the veterans' parade with them, because both have such an iconostasis (Krasnaya Zvezda, Glory, Battle of the Patriotic War, For Courage), but they did not go and did not come to school, no matter how many I called them to "lessons in courage", I was very offended by them then.

          Distracted, sorry. But this is so with me, the associations arose "about fought."

Stalingrad was defended by the SOVIET army and the SOVIET people. no one argues or belittles heroism and patriotism! I, too, did not touch the Russian army with anything! I was told only what is written above. If you yourself thought up something there, then yours and yours is purely yours! yes, I lived in the city of Grozny for the period 1989-95 and for this reason I gave my comment under the photo of Gleb, you started to carry all kinds of nonsense! blame someone for something, explain it to someone. Please read my comments again (since they didn’t understand the first time), and then draw conclusions. do not confuse round and green ... otherwise 99,9% of Russians won the Great Patriotic War, or something else comes to mind! cap presses?

If you mean that people died, then yes, I compared here. If the war didn’t builds, but destroys, too. however, these comparisons have nothing to be ashamed of and they will not tell you to me in what place and with what my conscience is clamped!
              again, never when had no habit of dodging. but not about that.

    Stalingrad is a turning point not only in the Great Patriotic War, but also in World War II. Not only Soviet citizens admired the courage of the defenders of Stalingrad. On behalf of the people of Britain, King George 6 ordered that the defenders of Stalingrad be made and handed over to the Soviet side.



    Glory to the heroes, glory to the defenders and liberators.

          In addition to the original, 3 more copies of this sword were later made.
          One copy is kept in England at the Swords Center of the Ulkinson Museum, London.
          Another copy is kept in the National Museum of Military History of South Africa
          The third copy is allegedly in private collection.
          It is noteworthy that during the Cold War, the original sword was brought 3 times to England as part of international exhibitions.

      In our heroic military history, everything would be nothing if it were not for one big BUT. In order to pack in the Russian land to improve our chernozems, these millions of uninvited Gauls, Aryans and their satellites, as well as Vlasovites and Tollerants who joined them, have to put at least as many of their boys and girls, otherwise it does not work. And since war, as a rule, takes place on our territory, it is necessary to add as many more civilians. Here is such a centuries-old and joyless arithmetic. Therefore, it is better to sit at home in Geyrope. And we are more whole and calmer.

        99,9% is an exaggeration.
        For example, I watched one of Putin's press conferences, he called there "about 70%." I think this figure is closer to the truth. I think there is no need to shout about it (about the majority of Russians or the minority of other peoples), but it is useful to know.
        USSR - a great country was with one people! We must remember this and be proud! And cite the example of the USSR to their children and grandchildren, talk about the very heroic and patriotic feats that our fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers performed! Only then will we be a strong, united nation and country! And any propaganda and provocation from the outside will bounce off our country, and nothing can rock us morally and ideologically from the inside, which means it will be harder to crush against us, and it will be harder to defeat!

    All on the ground, in the snow:
    and guns and banners.

    I saw them wandering then.
    We wandered, stiff and weak, having received space in the end.
    Blizzard,
    like the indignant spirit of Russia,
    spat in their faces frantically!
    Tearing shawls and blankets on them,
    drove, whistling, from a snowdrift to a snowdrift,
    so that they, arrogant, "uterus, eggs, fat!"
    and "uterus, milk!"
    remembered by the coffin!
    They wandered, not even lips
    close to pray "Oh myne goth!"
    And out of the snow silently, like pipes
    burning huts
    the people looked at them ...
    Oh how they trembled, oh how they trembled
    from those motionless looks: not a reproach,
    and not forgiveness, -
    Late!-
    and not pity
    they read in them, and the sentence
    everything that was thrown on the card,
    entrusted with a single gun ...
    Well ! Forgetting Bonaparte’s share,

      I also had the thought that I might see my cousin. He was then a lieutenant and fought on the front line since August 23, 1942, when the 14th Panzer Corps of the 6th Army of the Germans reached the Volga and captured the heights north of Stalingrad. How difficult it was for our fighters can be judged by this map:

      On September 10, the 29th mechanized division of the Germans managed to break through to the Volga and the troops of the 62nd Army were cut off from the 64th defending south. The army of Chuikov left no more than 20 thousand people and 60 tanks. Many cars were without trucks and fit only as fixed firing points.

    A deep bow to our grandfathers.

    From the letters of the Nazi soldier Erich Ott, sent from Stalingrad.

    August 23, 2942:
    “In the morning I was shocked by the beautiful sight: for the first time through fire and smoke I saw the Volga, calmly and majestically flowing in its channel. We have reached the desired goal - the Volga. But the city is still in the hands of the Russians. Why did the Russians rest on this shore, do they really think to fight on the very edge? This is madness."
    November 1942 of the year:
    “We hoped that before Christmas we would return to Germany, that Stalingrad was in our hands. What a great fallacy! This city has turned us into a crowd of insensible dead! Stalingrad is hell! Russians are not like people, they are made of iron, they do not know fatigue, do not know fear. Sailors, in severe frost, go on the attack in vests. Physically and spiritually, one Russian soldier is stronger than our whole company ... "

    The last letter is dated January 4, 1943:
    “Russian snipers and armor-piercers are undoubtedly the disciples of God. They lie in wait for us day and night, and do not miss. For 58 days we stormed one - the only house. We stormed in vain ... None of us will return to Germany, unless a miracle happens. And I don’t believe in miracles anymore. Time passed over to the Russians. ”

    In a difficult conversation storing:
    - This is a fight of brick and lead,
    This is a battle where concrete and armor -
    Everything fell upon me.
    This is a battle where the windows spit
    The machine gun is completely brutalized,
    Where floor to floor fight -
    Our upper and lower not ours,
    Where from a flask a sip of wine
    You give a drink to a friend ...
    Fighting on the street is war
    Where salvation and death are the wall ...

    And distant events link

      The photo was taken on July 12 near the village of Khoroshee (now the village of Khoroshee, Slavianoserbsky district of the Luhansk region) between the rivers Lugan and Lozova, on the site where the 220th Infantry Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division was defending, conducting stubborn bloody defensive battles with superior enemy forces.

      It turns out that the front-line correspondents of the Second World War were filming behind the lines... well, that’s the logic negative ....read the example
      Borzenko Sergei Aleksandrovich - front-line correspondent for the newspaper of the 18th Army "Banner of the Motherland" of the North Caucasus Front, major in the administrative service.
      Having the assignment of the editorial office of the newspaper "Banner of the Motherland", military correspondent Borzenko S.A. arrived at the location of the troops of the 318th Novorossiysk Mountain Rifle Division in order, together with the soldiers of the marine battalion of Captain N.A. Belyakov, attached to the 1339th Mountain Rifle Regiment, to get to Crimea and write correspondence about the entry of Soviet troops into Crimean soil. To do this, at 22:31 on October 1943, 10, in the Taman region, he loaded with paratroopers onto low-speed motorboat No. 1 and on the night of November 1943, XNUMX, having crossed the Kerch Strait under enemy fire, he landed among the first on the Kerch Peninsula...
      Finding himself senior in rank and the only officer in the detachment to whom the eyes of the paratroopers were turned, Major Borzenko was not at a loss, but began to direct the actions of the marines, ordering to make a passage through the wire barriers and begin an attack on the Nazi positions. At the same time, not forgetting about his professional duty, running into the first house he came across, in a few minutes he wrote the first correspondence of 50 lines, mentioning in it those who distinguished themselves at the time of disembarkation, and, wrapping the correspondence in waterproof packaging, handed it over to the messenger for delivery to Taman, to the editorial office of "Banner of the Motherland". And a few hours later the press organ of the 18th Army told everyone: “Our troops broke into Crimea!” This was the title of the article by the hero of Tierra del Fuego, front-line correspondent S.A. Borzenko.
      For the heroism and courage shown during the landing on the Kerch Peninsula, by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated November 17, 1943, Major of the Administrative Service Sergei Aleksandrovich Borzenko was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union with the Order of Lenin and the Gold Star medal (No. 2804).
      PS During the war, more than 1500 war correspondents died. It was one of the most dangerous military professions. Fulfilling their duty, war correspondents tried to capture the exploits of Soviet soldiers in the most dangerous areas, in the partisan rear. They looked at the enemy not through the sights of a machine gun, but through the sights of photo and movie cameras. What they had in their hand was not a grenade, but a pencil and pen. But their merits are invaluable. Thanks to their hard work, we can read about the events of that time, see photographs of people, remember them. Their information increased the morale of the people, ensuring Victory.

    Looking through other declassified (!) German photographs, I noticed that their soldiers were very often photographed with Soviet weapons (PPSh, SVD, artillery). And “our” filmmakers are doing their best to film our fighters as if they allegedly used German machine guns. Comparing the characteristics of the PPSh and the German assault rifle, we can easily say that the PPSh was indeed superior to their assault rifle in ALL (!) parameters (sighting range, rate of fire, weight, number of cartridges in the magazine, reliability). And when will the cinematic pressure of lies about the war end?

      MP is not a bad weapon at all. And it also has its advantages over the PPSh. For example, a lower rate of fire, which means more economical consumption of ammunition, the ability to fire single shots, which is quite problematic with PPSh; larger caliber, which means better stopping and shocking effect of the bullet; absolutely interchangeable magazines, unlike the PPSh, which had TWO magazines supplied with each “barrel” from the factory, and when firing with “foreign” magazines, the risk of delays SIGNIFICANTLY increased.

        Dear fed2912, if you don’t know, then just keep quiet and don’t embarrass yourself in front of people here. So this is in order.

        1. Low rate of fire. So where is the plus? This is a typical MINUS. I KNOW for sure that when fighting in Afghanistan, our soldiers, when going on an operation in the first ranks of the fighters, took not AKM, but PPSh (Yes, that’s it! Such machine guns were still stored in army warehouses back then!) because of ITS RATE OF FIRE. Ten people with PPSh were literally bombarded with a flurry of spirit bullets, not giving them the slightest opportunity to raise their heads. And you say this is a minus. Are you generally adequate to say this?

        2. Possibility of single shooting. So, dear, the PPSh HAS a switch for single or burst firing. But the German version DOES NOT have such a switch. And again, where is the plus? In the German machine gun, single shots could be obtained due to its EXTREMELY low rate of fire by quickly pressing the trigger. And this is a plus in your opinion? Are you adequate, dear?

        3. Economical use of ammunition... Well, this is actually a PEARL you gave out... And who is interested in saving if we are talking about the LIFE of a fighter with this weapon, and if you manage to kill the enemy by even 10 times overusing ammunition, then this is still better than " saving" cartridges and loss of people.
        And due to the smaller caliber of cartridges and their weight, the material costs for gunpowder, bullets and cartridges are almost the same. So, here too you hit your finger in the sky.

        4. Better stopping and shocking effect. And where have you seen the best action of a German machine gun? The range of destruction of manpower from this weapon is only 90-100 meters (!) At a longer range from this weapon it is pointless to shoot. But the effective firing range of PPSh is 200-250 meters. And after that, which weapon will be better to stop the enemy?
        Of course, shooting civilians with a German machine gun will be more effective, but in BATTLES in urban conditions this property practically does not work. There is no need to stop anyone there. Everyone is sitting in shelters, behind walls, and whoever was the first to burst into a room with enemies and bombard them with a hail of bullets is the one who wins... Sometimes it wouldn’t hurt to turn on the brain, Dear.

        5. The story about the “irreplaceability of magazines” for PPSh has already set everyone’s teeth on edge. This story was pulled out of thin air by the same “specialists” as you. Yes, indeed, if you take machine guns produced at different (!) factories, then yes, the magazines MIGHT not be suitable. BUT! Where have you seen weapons produced in DIFFERENT factories end up in one unit? It’s hard to imagine something like this even in a nightmare. The units were armed with weapons even from ONE batch, not just from one plant. And then you heard a ringing, but you don’t know where it came from...

        As a result, everything that you cited as an advantage of the German machine gun (I specifically DO NOT WANT to give its name, I didn’t deserve it) turned out to be, on the contrary, its disadvantages. And no wonder, you have seen enough of the films of “our” directors. And read the texts of YksperDov of your level... You need to be more legible and sometimes turn on your brain...

          For what operation? Which first ranks of fighters? Storming Amin's palace? Did you take the PPSh? Your mind is clouded.

            I support Andrey, we flew to Afghanistan in Ila, where the PPSh came from, there were even spirits there with either “Boers” or Kalash, French mercenaries came across to our fighters with M-16s. Vasily Kononov, with whom I talked, called it a “toy” - the recoil is small, but it hits hard, and sand in the wind also sprinkled the cranks of the rifle. Comparisons of machine guns can be read in Drabkin’s book “I went behind the front line”

          Of course, it is very difficult to argue with such a Professional as you, “I think so”... Indeed, I did not shoot either the PPSh or the MP-38/40. And you, dear “I think so,” probably have calluses on your finger and a bruise on your shoulder from constant practical shooting exercises.
          Regarding the possibility of firing single shots - indeed, you are absolutely right. It was I who confused PPSh with PPS. More precisely, my father, who at one time really “talked” quite a bit with both. And with the MP-40 too. My father’s elder brother, that is, my uncle, God rest upon him, also managed to tell me a lot of things.
          1. A low rate of fire in some cases is an absolute PLUS. Precisely for the reason I mentioned above. There is sometimes a catastrophic lack of time to switch the translator, and the portable supply of ammunition is, in fact, very limited. Submachine gunners of the Red Army in real combat conditions very rarely used a translator. Usually he stood in the "burst firing" position
          2. I already said about the translator. Indeed - my MISTAKE.
          3. Once again about saving ammunition. You can only carry so much ammunition with you. And to be left without ammunition at a critical moment, you must agree, dear “I think so,” is worse than to remain ALIVE.
          4. I really did not see the effect of the Parabellum bullet fired from the MP-38/40, just as I did not see the effect of the TT bullet from the PPSh. Probably, you, dear “I think so,” shoot every day at targets that are as close as possible in their physical characteristics to the human body. I hope at least you don’t shoot at people... But my uncle told me how once he and a colleague had the opportunity to shoot at a fleeing policeman. (the case took place around 1943 somewhere in the present Plyussky district of the Pskov region). My uncle, then a 17-year-old fighter in a partisan detachment, was armed with a PPSh, and his partner was armed with an empeshka. Uncle Kolya said that he saw the bullets hit with his own eyes. Pieces of cotton wool flew from the quilted jacket that the traitor-policeman was wearing, but he continued to run. When a more experienced comrade fired from his MP, the enemy immediately fell. He had no penetrating wounds - his spine was simply broken...
          5. And drum magazines were manually adjusted to fit each “barrel” even at the same factory. I read about this on Wikipedia. Of course, not the best source, but, alas, I did not personally communicate with the workers who produced the machine guns. But my father, after the War, served his military service with the PPSh. So, God forbid there was a mix-up between the stores. Not only do you have to worry about reloading, but then you’ll also get some extra bullets from the sergeant major.
          And in the end. I in no way claim that the MP-38/40 is better than the PPSh. I just said that the German submachine gun had its advantages.
          And I always keep my brain on.

        Only in 41 did PPShs come out with fitted magazines, after which the magazines no longer interfered with shooting. It should be noted that the name PPSh-41 appeared only in 42, when Shpagin modernized the production of PPSh and machine hours dropped from 7 hours to 2 hours. PPD - 24 machine hours. PPP -1 hour. It should be noted that the PPS was created by two other designers, but they could not make it fail-safe, then the model was transferred to Sudaev, who brought the machine gun to the required reliability parameter and reduced the number of machine hours per machine by half; in the absence of a wooden butt, the PPS was assembled in Leningrad. And with him the soldiers broke through the blockade. I would like to say something to the author of the sample. The photograph with the T-2 tank with a 60 mm cannon was always indicated as the liberation of a village near Moscow, and for the first time it was attributed to the Battle of Stalingrad.
        One could point out that the Vespe self-propelled gun based on the Czech T-38 is armed with the Soviet F-22 under a shell casing from a 76 mm anti-aircraft gun fired under a license purchased from Germany. Subsequently, 88 mm for the Germans and 85 mm for us. But if we take into account the difference in measuring calibers in Europe and here, then ours measured the caliber of a projectile without a copper belt, and in Europe, using a copper belt, which was 1.5 mm in a circle, the diameter increased by 3 mm.

      PPSh and Erma 40 and 42, (Schmeisser) were close in their performance, and their choice depended mainly on the presence of cartridges. Veterans do not have a consensus on which machine gun is better, some are in favor of the Erma machine gun (lighter, more reliable), others say that the magazine and rate of fire are capricious and small. But the Germans respected the SVT, since they taught them better how to care for weapons; many of our soldiers marched with the SVT from Stalingrad to Berlin. In 78, one of the developing countries ordered us sniper SVT. During the war, the Finns used captured rifles and started producing them at their factories. But from pistols, veterans for Parabellum, only the Parisians exchanged Walters and Parabellums for TT codes and united with the Red Army.

        Unfortunately, such videos, and even translated into Russian by “our” well-wishers, very often began to be shown on Russian channels “365tv”, “Discovery”, “History”, etc. and so on. Even on the anniversary of the Battle of Stalingrad, lies flow from the screen of Russian (?) television. And no one cares about it and no one is outraged by it. And the authors of the translation don’t even bother to even hint at informing the viewer that these are captured fascist newsreels and the translation corresponds to the text of the FASCIST announcer. Not to mention commenting and bringing to the viewer the ACTUAL facts mentioned in the film. True, as far as I understand, the translation of such films was carried out with an ENGLISH accompaniment of the announcer. And the objectivity of our former “allies” is known to everyone. The Battle of Stalingrad has the same meaning as their “Battle of Guadalcanal”, but in our opinion it was a small skirmish between two battalions (1400 Americans and 600 Japanese died).

    I was struck by the expression on the faces of the Germans before and after Stalingrad. Where is the arrogance and courage that the Reich propagandists sang? I have not seen. But I saw the fear and confusion before and the relief after the battle.
    Let this serve as a lesson to everyone who wants to come as uninvited “guests.”

      What was even more striking was the contrast of Paulus’s army marching through Paris and it wandering dejectedly along the snowy Volga steppes after Stalingrad! (the video was shot, oddly enough, by the British) This should be shown not only in our schools, but in the USA with the additional message - don’t go to Russia to fight there is your death.

    In the battles for Stalingrad, more than 1,2 million people from our side and more than 1,5 million from the Nazis died.
    Where do such wild numbers come from? The 6th Army that stormed Stalingrad consisted of a little more than 300 thousand people, 22 divisions. What the hell, one and a half million!
