Hmm, after the words about the “honest demonstration of the USSR” – I regretted my pre-order.
Dear stopgame employees, you are either not talking about the story, talking only about the gameplay. Or teach her!
The well-known meme “rifle for three” is the perverted memoirs of Vasily Grigorievich Zaitsev, in which he complained that as a sniper he did not have enough choice of rifles, because Stalingrad was being prepared for urban battles and the command had completely saturated the army with automatic small arms. I hope it’s clear? There were a lot of weapons for urban battles, more than fighters, a lot more. And there were a lot of rifles, but there was not enough assortment of quality rifles!
And order No. 227 punished not just those retreating, but those retreating without a command. In other words – deserters. And they were not shot (although according to the laws of war they should have been) – they were shot at vanishingly small numbers, for criminal neglect of military duty. For example, when you fled to substitute your front-line comrades (and you would like a different punishment for the person who doomed you to death?), which entailed numerous losses of Red Army soldiers. And usually they were sent to penal companies, where they could atone for their betrayal with blood – and even if they were never wounded for all 3 (THREE!) months for which they were sent to a penal company, they returned to linear units!
But this is a long and difficult conversation, there is much more that can be said, but in this format it is not worth.
I just ask journalists to stopgame.ru do not repeat their dirty words after the liars who pour slop on our common Motherland. Moreover, recently there was our Great Holiday. No need.
How sick of cranberries I am already… I am, of course, not a professional historian to judge the scale of the shortage of rifles and the execution of absentees. However, in any game about the Second World War from Western comrades, if all this is present, then it is one of the central details of the narrative. It used to be fun, then it stopped caring, then it got boring. Now it’s annoying.
I sincerely hope that the loner will not be overcrowded with this spreading cranberry and the plot, in the end, will tell about the war itself and about the exploits of soldiers in this war. And not about the evil NKVD men in leather jackets.
Well, thank God at least someone noticed this blatant propaganda! The essence of the dialogue is that the poor fascists wanted to surrender, but the bloody Soviet regime mercilessly destroyed them, passing them off as a glorious victory. I’m so excited about this video! Bastards… Naturally, not without: Not a step back! By the way, the Germans also had detachments. I think they were the first to introduce this practice. But of course they didn’t forget to poke us in order 227. I can fight for a long time, but I don’t want to do it. The internet is full of shit on this topic. Only some stupid comments are offensive, I won’t point fingers, but some justify what is shoved at them.
I agree with you about the current generation, but we must not forget those Americans who fought against fascism and, even more so, downplay their contribution to the Victory!
The Americans now say that they won only thanks to their intervention, but here we have shaved men with swastikas. So everyone has their own assholes.
Ivan, I’m sorry, but pirate-spins.uk in the plot dialogue you showed between a soldier and an NKVD officer there is nothing realistic and truthful – it’s all cranberry. Soldiers with “one rifle for three” is also a myth, rooted in the First World War.
I hope that the strategy will be so interesting in gameplay that all this mess from the plot can be forgotten immediately after loading the mission.
Guys, why do this, now they are drumming it into their heads that the Russians did nothing in World War II. And during the war, there were brave guys on their side who also risked their lives to stop fascism. My Grandfather told me how they met with the British or Americans, and there were normal guys there, talking about women, drinking together!
In 1945, the USSR completely defeated the entire Kwantung Army, Japan’s main ground force, in a week. US Secretary of State. Stetginius wrote: “On the eve of the Crimean Conference, the American chiefs of staff convinced Roosevelt that Japan could capitulate only in 1947 or later, and its defeat could cost America a million soldiers.”.
There is an opinion that the USSR’s entry into the war with Japan and the loss of Manchuria was the main reason for Japan’s surrender, and not the atomic bombing of civilians.
And regarding “our ideological machine” – you watch the film “Mission to Moscow”, filmed by the Americans in 1943, or even better, the film “Battle for Russia”, also filmed in 1943.
Yes, indeed, the cranberries have lifted, the Americans are probably playing and thinking that it was so, that they defeated the fascists, and the USSR did nothing and sent everyone to their deaths
One rifle for three, going into battle with bare hands, barrage detachments firing machine guns at retreating soldiers… The author has seen enough of all sorts of nonsense like “Enemy at the Gates” and “Burnt by the Sun 2”?
Hmm, Ivan is a victim of anti-Soviet propaganda – “one rifle for three” (yes, there were few rifles in Stalingrad, t.To. PPSh were issued instead) and about the terrible barrage detachments – here, for information, are statistics on the action of such in Stalingrad:
140,755 military personnel who escaped from the front line were detained. Among those detained:
— 3,980 people were arrested;
— 1,189 people were shot;
— 2,776 people were sent to penal companies;
— 185 people were sent to penal battalions;
— 131,094 people were returned to their units and transfer points.
As a person graduating from the Faculty of History, I can say the following, to put it mildly, the story about one rifle and three fighters is a fiction, and sometimes there was not enough equipment or weapons in the form of shells and guns, especially at the beginning of the war, in the period from approximately July to August 1941. However, this happened not because the great army of Germany (I speak without sarcasm) smashed everything to smithereens, but because sometimes transferring reserves from one part of the USSR to another is a very non-trivial task, since half of the railways and highways were either under construction or had recently entered into operation, which required some more time to monitor their condition. Now let’s move on to the main topic: barrage detachments and precision shooting in the forehead of retreating Soviet soldiers, you won’t believe it, but there was no such nonsense. Firstly, because barrage detachments were very rarely located in trenches, since their location was closer to the forest or railway station, because in case of emergency, that’s where deserters run. Secondly, their main function was to catch, interrogate and return to the unit and only, as a last resort, shoot according to the laws of war. In total, if my memory serves me right, about 680 people were shot. Well, here there are widespread executions, Gulags and the like.
You may not be aware, but this has been a sign of the Finnish armed forces since the 20s, when there was no smell of Nazism in Germany, so it’s just a coincidence.
So far, the least cranberry Western game about the Great Patriotic War is Red Orchestra.
And here the cranberry is on the cranberry and the cranberry is driving. Moreover, if there was some fun game, like Red Alert, then the cranberry of the ball would even come in handy, but this is a historical strategy, there is no place for guesses and myths, everything is recorded in history. But no, you need to portray everything the way they want to see it in the West, and it doesn’t matter that Russian players are infuriated by it.
I agree, from the last cinematic trailer I realized that the wildest cranberry awaits us.
It’s a pity, remember the very first trailer of the game? “They won this victory, but their feat was forgotten” – quote from there. I thought that it was meant that in the West no one remembers the exploits of Russian soldiers and the game will be such a reminder, but no, the concealment of the feat is that the EVIL RUSSIAN KEGBE is again hiding the facts and covering his tracks.
It’s a pity, it’s a pity, it’s a pity.
But judging by the beta, the game KoH2 can be quite wow.
The word comrad is a transcription of the word “comrad”, otherwise “comrade”. And if you don’t see the words about bloody hell, then you’re blind.
Z.Y. While Roosevelt was alive, there was a plan, and even plans for agreements, to create a partnership between two forces (USSR and the USA) – which would ensure peace on our planet and create mutually convenient conditions. But as soon as these terms were agreed upon, Roosevelt died.
Z.Z.Y. By the way, for all the morons – under Stalin there was private property, there were artels, there were private shops. Khrushchev ruined everything.
