Re: Late-War Russian Success, 44-45.....
Thanks guys for "keeping it real" here!!
I think you have to look at the young age as to something vet troops might/would not do, so their is a surprise element there, and maybe no real fear of death for those just thrown into battle as well, not knowing what they are getting into as well I think. An idealistic youth can be very dangerous and give his all, maybe better than some of the "regular" forces by this time, you think?
There were human waves in the Eastern Front, but not as many as you might think, or be led to beleave, it did happen, but not on a regular basis throughout the war Kurttis.
Cheers
