Red army books

[APESKRIEG!]

Comrades! Can you recommend any good books on the Russian infantry with
lots of photos and info of weapons and uniforms, etc. Lots of German info out there, not enough Russian stuff.

Apeskrieg, can you understand Russian? If yes, I have a golden mine for you (several hundred of memoirs, history, biographical books about every war where Russia participated - it's all free too).

Thanks guys! Bolt, I wish I could read Russian but I can't. It's so blasted hard to find really good stuff on the Russians in english.

Try "Ivan's War: The Red Army, 1941-45" by Catherine Merridale.

Very good book for social and politic studies of the era.


Not a lot of photos but it is a good start for what you want:

Hey, if you're running firefox, there is a really good add-on that translates... well... a bunch of languages to English or other things.

I would suggest using it, I have it running on the link given in the thread and it works pretty well, although some words don't get translated, but a lot of the ones I've seen are things related to the english counterparts, e.g. debarkation. Happy reading

Edit: Links do not change language, as they are considered buttons and not actual words.
