The Soviets were just as bad as the Nazis were, if not worse. Needless to say, those brave Poles didn't stands a chance since they were literally caught between two devils, Stalin and Hitler.
To: lizol
unmistakably a Jeep. did the soviets have them in Poland during WW-II?

I think so, because of the Lend-Lease acts.

Sure they did.
Remember "Lend - Lease act"?
They only had to repaint stars to red ones :-)

I know we had lend-lease agreements with russia, but were jeeps that prevalent in 1940? The prototype Jeep was demonstrated in September 1940 (the 23rd, IIRC). when exactly was this massacre?

Just curious, did you just look up that date or do know a lot about jeeps?

well, I don't know the context of trhe photo - whether it is contemporary to the massecre, or whether it is supposed to hacve taken place a few years later, but the first jeeps went into the US army in 1941. I dont' klnow exaclty when the russians got theirs.

I loved his films "Man of Marble" and "Man of Iron" - this should be good.

I met a man a few years back who had a restored 1941 jeep. I had my then brand new one and he took a few pics of them side by side. He said that was when they came out.
But I did double-check with a couple "history of rthe jeep" sites to refresh my aging memory.
never know - I could have been wrong, but it looks like jeeps werent' around for the massacre, but probably were afterwards, so it depends upon the context of the scene.

During WWII? Yes. During 1940? No. So realism depends on when the scene was to have taken place.
To: SampleMan
agreed. i'll probably go see the film anyway.

This picture that you're relating to shows a scene from post-war communist Poland - 1945 or later.
Those soldiers are wearing Polish communist army uniforms.

Sure they did. Not in 1940. By the time Russians got jeeps, the front would have been much further east.

We shipped a lot of jeeps to Russia, but I don't think they went into mass production until 1941.
