Know that feelin’
I remember reading about the White Death Simo Haya who used to eat snow so his breath condensation would not give him away.
Simo also favoured iron sights saying a scope had ones head to high, he was badly disfigured by an explosive bullet which hit him in the face the Russians sure got a good lesson in tactics from the Finns on what not to do in War.
But they seem yo have needed a coiple more years of hard beating by the Germans before starting to apply the lessons learned…
True Ovidio but with battle casualties conservatively estimated at 20 million in WWII (Some pundits say 50 million !) Stalin was not really interested in the meat loss just get the job done no matter the death rate.
