Re: Help identifying booklet please
Thanks for the information guys! Very interesting. Is there a possibility that he would have served during the great patriotic war as a paratrooper?

Re: Help identifying booklet please
There is a possibility, but impossible to tell from the information presented. Parachuting along with other paramilitary "sports" were encouraged by the Soviet government in the '30's so many civilians wore the parachute badge along with the Voroshilov marksman/GTO/PVKhO badges.

Re: Help identifying booklet please
I think, that was so - all skills such were used in war and nobody would send such expert to be at war in fleet or in tank armies. They participated in military landings, were thrown in rear of the enemy or to partisans...

Re: Translation Help
I often see the words "огнем и колесами", for example in "орудие непосредственной поддержки пехоты и кавалерии огнем и колесами" or "артиллеристы сопровождали их огнем и колесами". How should one translate this? "with guns with wheels"?

I've also seen this applied to straight armor, and the word "gusenitsami" (tracks) instead of "wheels", implying to me the author was praising the armor's shock effect by plowing straight into or over the enemy... |
