BTT
What happened to all propaganda pics?

That PTRD is too short

Apparently joining the Soviet Army in the early 1940's made you at least 6'6" tall and 350 pounds of solid muscle, it also made you noble and of a pure heart - after all, you'd be protecting the freedom of the Soviet Union, the joy of the workers in a workers paradise, and you'd never be used in human wave assaults against guys with tanks and MG 42's.

Nah its just propaganda posters makes all Soviet soldiers be 6.6 and armed with SVT40's. They dealt with MG42's like Alex Matrosov.
Aleksandr Matrosov was a Soviet soldier who died heroically during World War II.

According to the traditional version, On 27 February 1943 in the battle for a village near Pskov, Aleksandr Matrosov sacrificed his life by blocking a Nazi machine gun pillbox with his body. He disabled the machine gun, allowing his comrades to continue the attack and win the battle. On 19 June 1943 Matrosov received the award of “the Hero of the Soviet Union” posthumously.

Another verson, is that they heard him cursing and blaming black ice before he fell on machine gun.
