This title provides a view of the Soviet rifleman in defeat and victory, on the defensive and in the attack both in the heat of the summer, and the frozen brutality of the Russian winter. Their political beliefs, motivation, training, everyday life, weaponry and equipment are examined here, accompanied by rare photographs and full-color artwork.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction ·   Conscription ·  Training and Tactics ·  Appearance · Weapons and Equipment ·  Conditions of Service · On Campaign ·  Belief and Belonging ·  The Aftermath of Battle  ·  Collections, Museums, and Reenactment ·   Bibliography ·  Colour Plate Commentary  ·   Index","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51360205668695,"sku":"9781846031274","price":13.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781846031274.jpg?v=1754126978","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/soviet-rifleman-1941-45-9781846031274","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
