Russian Soldier WW2

Soviet infantry in the Second World War served in a Red Army transformed by immense losses, mobilization, and repeated reorganization. Rifle formations fought from the disastrous opening of the German invasion through the later offensives into central Europe. Equipment ranged from standard rifles and submachine guns to specialized support weapons. The 1941 invasion destroyed or disrupted many formations, followed by mass rebuilding and increasingly coordinated offensives. By 1944–1945 Soviet rifle units operated within armies capable of large combined-arms operations. Persistent shortages and casualties nevertheless meant that authorized organization and actual unit strength could differ greatly. Its ranks included many Soviet nationalities.
