Philippe Rio - Le soldat soviétique de la Seconde Guerre mondiale - 2011

A cult classic work regarded as the best reference, unavailable and highly sought after, here in new condition

Eight million Soviet soldiers died during the war on the Eastern Front from 1941 to 1945. Yet history, the uniform, and the life of the Frontovik are still poorly known. Many preconceived ideas circulate, these being largely due to the image conveyed by German propaganda. The Soviet soldier, however, was a determined, tenacious, and well-equipped fighter. His kit evolved during the Great Patriotic War, despite the difficulties of a country at war. There are very few books devoted to this subject, so the enthusiast will find in this volume a coherent collection of information on the organization of the Red Army, its uniforms, its equipment and automotive and armored hardware, artillery...
The silhouette of the Russian soldier, from Barbarossa to the fall of Berlin, is reproduced in color by more than fifty studio-recreated figures (infantrymen, gunners, female soldiers, paratroopers, aviators, tank crew, marines, political commissars, etc.). Also presented are a multitude of equipment, insignia and personal items, as well as a large number of period documents and unpublished black-and-white photos.
