War Witness: Horses vs Tanks

http://victory1945.rt.com RT presents War Witness - a special project dedicated to the 65th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany. World War II veterans and survivors recount their stories about the war - from how it began to how it ended.

Vladimir Dyabin, squadron commander in the Soviet army, says there is nothing tougher in the whole world than life at war. But the worst thing is seeing soldiers, your friends, being killed.

I have the utmost respect for the Heroes of the Soviet Union, and any and all men and women involved. The Great Patriotic War was one which the Russian people can look back upon with pride and respect. Had it not been the defeat of the Nazi juggernaut at Stalingrad, the war may have had an entirely different outcome. Not enough attention has been given by Western historians to the contribution given by the former Soviet Union in winning WWII. This was indeed a "Sacred War."

@RussMoscow Captain Obvious, name me any TV channel on Earth created not for propaganda?

@przemaser2 Who did Russians betray? Poles? Poles were always against Russians! Poles were the first to attack Moscow in 1612.. Wasn't that a betrayal from Slavic brother nation? Or you think Poles can do whatever they want, but we Russians cant? Ohh, and when you say Russians - you say - nation. Nations don't betray, politicians do.

@DJEDzTV read history books butthole - russians pact with germans - what is this? honour? for me russians are traitors without honour

[DJEDzTV]

@przemaser2 Fuck you, Russians are heroes, which played the most important role in winning this WW2!

@KOGR11 But in most cases Russia was the aggressor.

@mily357 Poor poland playing victim song as usual. The reason behind the first invasions of poland by the bolsheviks and the treaty between the germans and the soviets (MRT)had no particular association. And if you want to take it farther back than WW1.. well then Poland invaded russia many times itself even before the bolsheviks came to power. Stalin's motives for occupying Poland was as simple as the motives for the other occupations, to create buffer zone between the west and the heartof cccp

[mily357]

@KOGR11 That doesnt change anything. Russia and Germany attacked poland numerous times before ww2, Stalin just wanted to finish what Lenin failed to do. Besides if it was strictly defensive move then why would Stalin want to keep his influences in Poland so badly after the war? Also because of USSR's stupid ideas we werent included in marshal plan that would help rebuild Poland from the rubble that your armies left behind.

@mily357 The treaty was necessary to buy time since churchil refused to be in a treaty with USSR. You in turn have to remember USSR and it's people was always aware that the war with the nazis were inevitable they had already fought them once in proxy during the spanish civil war, only the timing was unexpected for them.

@romeoechomike369 You have to remember that russians in the beggining were allied with Germany. Only when Hitler betrayed Russia, they changed sides.

@romeoechomike369 I agree but I wouldnt call any war sacred.

@Anderas777

Yes,I suppose it is!!! I dont give a damn what You say, but me and the rest of thinking people will learn who is repsponsible for the most horrible activities of the centuries. Who was Your grandfather or the rest , boy? This is a rhetorical question, answer Yourself first boy.
