Ping!
It’s too bad that the propaganda piece left out all of the important information, about effectiveness and problems.
Stalin is the worst white mass murderer in history, if they were effective, did he fill the Russian Air force with females after the war?
Dang! Boots as big as the bombs...:-)
As an aside, the Po-2 was a source of vexation not only for the Wehrmacht, but for UN forces in Korea as well. Much effort was put into dealing with the “Bedcheck Charlie” threat, including the first use of jet night fighters by the US. And Litvak flew a real fighter, the Yak-1, and was a double ace before her death in 1943.
I saw a program about the Wehrmacht on TV today.
It actually showed something I had never noticed before. In the early months of the war in Russia, the Germans while capturing and killing Russians by the millions were also suffering heavy casualties themselves.
They lost most of their horses which was their main means of transport. Sort of surprising that such an advanced military still depended on horses.
