The victory in World War II was the result of the joint efforts of all anti-fascist leagues. If the Allies had not united and fought together, perhaps the arrogance of fascism would have allowed the smoke of World War II to fill longer. It is said that more than 70 million soldiers died on the battlefield of World War II. So, do you know where the most intense battlefield takes place?
The answer is the Soviet-German battlefield, after all, without the stubborn resistance of the Soviet Union and the Jedi counteroffensive, the countries of fallen Eastern Europe could not regroup and fight together. The moment the Soviets captured Berlin, it was a huge surprise for the whole of Europe. So, how tragic was the Soviet-German war? You know, the Germans have always been known for their lightning fighting power, so they are very good at raiding. Catch you off guard first, and then attack and destroy the army. Poland and France, in this context, suffered a terrible invasion.
Similarly, the Surprise Attack of the Germans did not give any signs to the Soviets at all. If it were not for the large number of Soviets and the relatively advanced weapons and equipment, they would have fallen with them long ago. Seeing the Germans pressing forward, the Soviet Union made a final letting go. Not only did it exhaust all the industrial power of the Soviet Union, but it also deployed a very strict and complete military project. It can be said that it was the crisis of the capture of Leningrad that forced them to retreat to the Battle of Moscow. Once Moscow was invaded again, the entire Soviet Union was not far from completely falling.
It was probably the determination of the war that made the Soviets erupt into unprecedented combat effectiveness, repelling the German army on the battlefield for the first time and ushering in the dawn of victory for Moscow. After that, they were greatly encouraged and ushered in a turning point in the battlefield, the Battle of Stalingrad. In a powerful Soviet counterattack, the Germans finally fell. Seeing that Berlin was already the domain of the Soviet army, Hitler, who felt powerless to return to heaven, had to raise his gun and commit suicide.
We can see from the photo that this is the soldiers' steel helmets and rice spoons. Although it has become a lot of holes under the bullet shooting, you can still faintly see the rough prototype. Whether the owner of the steel helmet is alive or dead on the battlefield, we do not know, but from the situation of the steel helmet, he must have been seriously injured. Look at their spoons, which are all in tatters and carried on the backs of the soldiers. It can be seen that the time on the battlefield is not waiting for anyone, and the shells will strike if you hesitate.
How tragic the Soviet army experienced in the early stages of the war, from the cold figures and these old photos, we can only experience half of the taste. But the pain of the destruction of our homes and the death of our loved ones, our ancestors also experienced and felt in the war of aggression against China.
