Alpo Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I knew there was a manpower shortage during the Great Patriotic War, but I didn't know they were taking them that young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To give them their due, they shed a lot of blood in causing the Wermacht to throw away men, equipment, and supplies. Of course, then there is Ukraine where initially the Nazis were welcomed in some areas as liberators from the Soviets. History is muddled and complicated.

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Seeing him with an accordion, reminds me of an old Far Side cartoon. In the first scene, you see an angel handing out harps, and saying, "welcome to Heaven". In the second scene, you see a guy dressed up in a red suit with horns, handing out accordions, and saying, "welcome to hell". Now, every time I see an accordion, it reminds me of that cartoon. That cartoon, also kinda ruined me from going to the annual polka festival, that they will be having soon, in the neighboring town. Oh well....

The Tatars in Crimea were suspected of collaborating with the nazis. After the war Stalin banished them to the Stan republics in Asia which made it convenient for Russians to take over their homes and farms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
