What no Nazi standards to rain down in front of Stalin? Stalin may have bugg**ed off home to complete his rewriting of the war.

Wrong answer! Off to Kholima with you!

If the weather was clear the 2 batteries of 8 x 122mm Howitzers providing the salvoes would have sounded even louder!

Look for the youtube films of this parade I provided a year or so ago.

It is only "The" Parade becasue the SU never beat the US that would then have become "THE" Parade.

If Hitler did not interfere, they could have been Waffen SS marching thorugh Hitlerplatz downtown Moscow presenting Hitler with the colours of the Soviet Army, but we'll never know.

Come quickly Za !!! The BS meter is needed. Bring the RR as someone needs to have his faith in the revolution realigned! It is 0211 and I'm off to bed. Don't want to be banned over bad humor.

I was looking at the picture again and I still don't see the rain but I was wondering why they all wore different styles of helmets ? From the right, numbers 4,5,and 6 have different helmets. #4 looks American.

I think the photo is a fake, i see the third Soviet soldier from the left smiling, the Russians don't have a sense of humour. I smell set up.

The parade took hours and it did drizzle at times. As it was June, I suggest it was dry enough at the time this pic was taken, which is at the close of the ceremony. When Marshals Zhukov and Rokossovsky came into Red Square on horseback the ground was distinctly wet.

And your avatar is still ugly!

Za Rodinu could you ask one of those guys, if they can miss one of those Standards? I guess they got enough.

__________________

I've never really thought about it.

So they brought the standards and threw them on the ground. What did they do with them after that? Burn them? Put them in the Peoples' Great Patriotic War and Anti-Fascist Education Center and Museum?


The answer may be in one of the links you supplied, Za, but I'm too lazy to read them this morning.

They're rotting in museum basements I guess.. There are many musea
asking for standards, Russia, doesn't give them..

I'm volunteer at a museum, and I do know people from other musea (in different countries) they did ask for a standard but they don't give them to a museum (or borrow).

Once there was a standard on the internet and DAMN that price went really high.

__________________

I have seen many many of these standards first hand in many Russian Museums in both Moscow and St. Petersburg ( just to name a few ) not a single one looked like it was suffering from rust. In fact they along with all of the other WW2 trophies from the magnificent 3rd Reich are taken care of quite well in Russia and are on display for all to see

Russia paid for these trophies with more blood, I understand why she does not just hand them out.....
