It's just not true. The soviets lost 8 million soldiers and 20 million civilians. For Berlin, this was minimal casualties compared to Battle of Stalingrad Battle of moscow and Battle of leningrad, Germany, lost alone in Battle of Berlin, 500-1million soldiers. So your information is just fake news. Stay mad kid.

@@danilos5684 to this day they haven't counted the dead soldiers because they didn't even bury them. That's one. They murdered those who returned from captivity. That's two. and 20 million civilians, I don't even know if that includes those they murdered themselves. The assault on Berlin made no military sense. It was enough to wait a week.

not thinking like a russian it's steel steel is strong it will stop bullets

Their is actually great historical US and British literature out there. Go for the academical historians and their BOOKS. Unfortunately the internet is too full with opinions but hardly facts. You'll find great pieces of neutral description of historical events, going into detail of the very ambivalent history of this country and state - full of cruelty but also gigantic achievements and why it failed. You will be surprised. The best books are written shortly after the wall came done, meaning around the 1990s and the 2000er years. The West dropped at least partially its stupid anti-Russian narratives but also the libraries and archives within the ex-USSR and later Russia and its ex-Soviet republics opened wide (unfortunately they are back closed again for obvious reasons). Best is to choose British and US authors who have a command of Russian language since during this period they travelled to the archives finding a lot interesting stuff and shedding a complete new light onto the subject you are interested in. Also particular a lot of British universities cooperated with Russian universities and historians during this period. Amazing what a world can achieved if foreign politics are NOT based on silly embargos. It will change your world view. Best to start with the immediate WW1-period (still the Tzarist regime) and working your way up there into the present. Go to the big South-American river and start fishing some books for a few bucks. "Ivan's war" (Catherine Merridale), "Leningrad" (Anna Reid), "The electrification of Russia 1880-1926" (Jonathan Coopersmith) - important to understand the huge educational and industrialisation efforts during this period in the early USSR, a bit dry but very interesting in general, "Demolishing the Myth" (Valeriy Zamulin) - Battle of Kursk, "Chernobyl" (Serhii Plokhy, "The Gun - the story of the AK74" C.J. Chivers, "Comrads" (Robert Service) - more on the foreign relation to all the other Communist movements, "Trostky, a biography" (Robert Service) - focusses on the internal deadly feuds within the early Soviet leadership ... just something for you to start with. These books are more exciting than a crime story, except they describe historical reality. The good thing about them is they are in English and since they are written by "Western" authors (often co-writing with Russians) you can be accused of fallen to Russian propaganda. Then go to the list of sources a t the back of these books and order more if you are interested. The books I listed give you not only insight into these events or subjects of Soviet history during different periods but they also make you understand better the origins of today's conflicts and why the West is so stupidly arrogant and self-righteous towards this part of the world. And why it is so dangerous to mess with Russia because of their perspectives on past and today's world affairs. Hope, I could help, enjoy the reading. Peace! from Dresden / Germany

Hell yeah, i found it it's a Ls-26 Finnish machine gun not soviet

I'm pretty sure they issued that exact thing to troops in Finland, and got guys killed trying to use it. Maybe that was the point of your comment and the humor just went over my head.

@ bahaha no i was unaware. It would have to be under perfect conditions alright. I know the allies experimented with sleds drug behind tanks but it was a bust too

@@The67wheelman Interesting.

They had sleds, but for transportation of wounded. Sometimes they used dogs to drag the wounded-sleds... But I havent heard they were used as battle gears, no.

Nope if you’re within small arms range it will penetrate either way with a rifle

It saved from pistol and SMG fire, there are plenty of photos of it.

They also were super difficult if not impossible to crawl in

Yeah I found the claim that it supposedly held up against machinegun hits at ANY distance to be a tall tale. I mean I could imagine shots glancing off at several hundred meters distance but anything closer than 100 meters? No way. Especially due to the high rate of fire of the MG42 chances were that you'd be hit by several bullets and not just one. But I do believe that it could be effective against SMGs and Pistols aswell as Shrapnell, which is certainly something. I can also imagine that unless it's super-heavy and cumbersome that it will certainly have a positive impact on morale and a fighter's confidence. All armor does that.

@colder5465 seems like the only intelligent people in this comment section are here. Everyone else is spouting off about glorious stalininium bull sh*t

...it is pretty comfortable though, especially compared to kneeling! I have fallen asleep in the prone position many times before lol

These are the soviets the comfort position is when the Commissar deems the solider worthy of receiving his one potato ration.
