And Jentz! Wow, I guess all historians are wrong! I particularly like the conclusion where the author decided that just because a certain specimen of captured documentation was not published, this is an indicator of some super-secret conspiracy. These documents are available in Podolsk, there is a special repository for captured and translated documents. But, alas, Chukcha is not a reader, Chukcha is a writer.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622237223229485503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-23291968608302136732015-10-11T15:11:18.495-04:002015-10-11T15:11:18.495-04:00The new addition: http://elgri.livejournal.com/173...The new addition: http://elgri.livejournal.com/17306.html<br /><br />P.S. the recce photo is pretty clear IMHO...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-90449846583559358122015-10-08T00:22:44.289-04:002015-10-08T00:22:44.289-04:00Well, let's see, he complains that you can'...Well, let's see, he complains that you can't get a Tiger II to Moscow before 1945... and yet there are very many photos of captured Tiger IIs at wartime exhibitions. Soviet bridges can't hold the weight of a Tiger II? Not a problem, the ice at Ladoga couldn't hold KVs either, so turrets were transported separately. It's also not very difficult to drag a tank without tracks onto a train platform, especially if it's a fancy new tank that your superiors are eager to examine. Plus, you know, both Soviet and German sources agree on the battle happening. In the Oskin link, the author seems confused about the difference between a map and a diagram, and is also surprised that he can't see any tanks on a photo where a house consists of nine blurry pixels. And then, as his crowning act, he takes a Wikipedia article, compares it to actual primary documents... and determines that it's the primary documents that are wrong. That has to be some kind of expertise that is simply beyond me.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622237223229485503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-75007116860369203022015-10-06T16:10:07.118-04:002015-10-06T16:10:07.118-04:00Hm, some nasty shadows over Ogledow: http://elgri....Hm, some nasty shadows over Ogledow: http://elgri.livejournal.com/16843.html#t17355<br /><br />http://elgri.livejournal.com/tag/%D0%9E%D1%81%D1%8C%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BD<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-11530807229258642382015-08-13T17:15:45.055-04:002015-08-13T17:15:45.055-04:00KV tanks converted to tractors could do it: http:/...KV tanks converted to tractors could do it: http://samlib.ru/img/n/nikolaj_b_d/siniavino/1301165437_70-475.jpg<br /><br />Also "Foreign Tank Evacuation Instructions" show diagrams for towing a tank with up to four tractors at once, so presumably they were prepared to transport even bigger trophies.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622237223229485503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-49483841854450845332015-08-13T16:18:04.564-04:002015-08-13T16:18:04.564-04:00How Soviets evacuated those damaged T-VI?How Soviets evacuated those damaged T-VI?Rosica Katrevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16653366824005713613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-27876142070663091842015-03-17T07:41:19.707-04:002015-03-17T07:41:19.707-04:00Very good info!Very good info!ww2 infohttp://ww2info.esnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-88895836839020699282013-10-10T17:44:36.794-04:002013-10-10T17:44:36.794-04:00IS there any way to find out what was number of Os...IS there any way to find out what was number of Oskin's T-34/85?<br />As a scale modellar, I would love to build model of his tank.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-12409495105796214962013-09-15T12:48:05.680-04:002013-09-15T12:48:05.680-04:00Nice action from GvTTP crews.
