Photographs found in an abandoned house, from the archive of Alexander Yakovlevich Gromykhalin (1925-?).

Born in the village of Olkhovets, Kimovsky District, Tula Region. In 1943 he was drafted into the army, took part in the battles for Warsaw and Berlin, in 1946 he was awarded the Order of the Red Star. After demobilization, he returned to his native land, to the Kimovsky district.

His photo album is a vivid illustration of the life of a front-line soldier and an ordinary Soviet citizen.

So this is what the anti-Soviets mean when they say that the Red Army had one rifle for three...

I noticed a lot of interesting things on the chronicle, thanks. Interestingly, the Japanese officers had flashbacks from the times of Khalkhin Gol? I saw early T-34s, SU-76s with closed wheelhouses, as well as an American Ford truck. I also found the KV-1, but the excerpt seems to be not from here. Many thanks. In general, it seems to me at times blasphemous that so many equipment were thrown along the way. On the one hand, a large amount of equipment saved the lives of soldiers, on the other hand, the material part is very sorry.

About Budyonnovka. Honestly, I have not seen her either in Kiev or in Berlin. This is not the most comfortable headgear, albeit beautiful. But in the Far East, there are photos.

Sometimes it seems to me that Budennovka during the Civil War looked more interesting. These large ears and a cavalry overcoat added some kind of romanticism to the figure. Checkers are missing, and a red bow on the chest.

Photos from the military album. According to the description - autumn 1941, a captured Red Army soldier. One of the comments:

"The fighter has a clearly visible" vshivnichek "(any non-statutory thing - for example, a jumper, sweater, sweatshirt, worn over underwear), which together with an overcoat is very good for the fall. But, I beg your pardon from this person, I want to say that it resembles a person with a criminal past. Characteristic nuances are seen: a squint, a helmet casually shifted to one side, and most importantly a smile and butts "

A tough man. It can be seen that he was in battles for a long time - overgrown with stubble. I was captured, but the look ... No, this is not the look of a broken man. Hopefully, before captivity, he put at least a few Hans in the ground.
