Make that TWO revolvers!  Looks like he has some 7.62x54R on his bandolier, too.

Maybe its just me or the angle on the "7.62x54R" but it looks more like 8mm mauser. it looks like a rimless round

Unlike the popular Hollywood movie, I can recall hearing an interview from a Soviet veteran of Stalingrad.



He noted that many drowned crossing the Volga because they had so much gear, particularly the great coat which weighed them down in the water.

Early on no.



But as the reforms of 42-43 accelerated that statement isn't really true, though their training still was only measured in the space of a few weeks.

Funny, but probably true.

The backdrop tells me it was definitely a posed portrait shot and I've seen a few like that from other wars and other countries, it's kind of a cliche actually.  Traveling photog makes a few bucks dressing up soldiers in rambo kit and selling them shots to send home.

Figured it was something along that line. Reminds me of the ones the Germans cobbled together from several Stielhandgranates.
Of course, the Russian version looks like an ration can

Just noticed, he only has the single PPsH drum.
Guess he's really hoping on the hole shock and awe approach, since he'd rip through that single mag pretty fast. . .

Early war ones. They are more rare.



More common later ones:


Early ones also had a semi auto mode, which was removed on later production models as well.

Rapist motherfuckers......

that's from my grandfathers experience when they entered Hungary like savaged animals they are.


the local village in western Hungary killed a platoon of them off after they made the local city hall into a whorehouse for the school girls and BOYS that were hiding.

Got them drunk....cut them down like pigs they were and then cut them up into tiny little pieces.....some diesel and burned them up.


Fuck them.

Not saying they didn't deserve it, but the Germans played the same game going East.



In a war between two totalitarian states, the people stuck in-between suffer.

It is Hungary's fault for siding with the Germans..no greater than small boys joining the biggest baddest gangster in the neighborhood with no choice or little choice.

People keep saying kids today have a choice in escaping gangs.......try being a country stuck between two gangsters and not having a choice unless you are the Swiss, and you had more badass toys than the two gangsters so they left you alone.


Savages is just my opinion from my families experience.

Murder, rape, pillage, looting.....that is the legacy of the Russians when they entered Hungary.
