Walsingham Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Though its more like a tradition of incompetence and never ending excuses, where the mighty Russian always being raped, the Russian soldier is expandable and victories come by brute force. Like they were raped in the winter war, in ww2(thanks to external help they managed to keep it from becoming a route and eventual turning the tides), in Afghanistan and that shameful preformance in Chechnya. Where you from? Just interesting, where yet so brainwash children's by such fat russophobic propaganda ( Last times when i see something similar is been Goebbels cool stories ). Clearly propaganda, as Sov troops are wearing fitted uniforms. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

Mor Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Where you from? Just interesting, where yet so brainwash children's by such fat russophobic propaganda ( Last times when i see something similar is been Goebbels cool stories ).Interesting, because I thought that you had a little nationalistic streak, grasping at straws since the discussion over equipment and better training. Implying that Russian army is better because its built on conscript army, that USA/UK armies aren't professional, immoral and only good against small backward 'Stans'(even though coalition invasion of Iraq was a perfect contrast to yours shame in Chechnya). So no propaganda, at best little hyperbole for your sake. I intentionally, used your example of Israel to get my point across, without you being distracted by your passion to the subject. I assure you that many Israelis would fill and assume as you do after reading that: for the most of the war Israel had more people fighting force, more weapons, the initiative and their victory was due to large part because the arabs had no unified command, poor planing and separate goals and few other things about British intelligence estimate etc.. However, the intent is not to diminish their accomplishments, I think it was an amazing victory, regardless the point that I was making is that "every country has an ethos", its purpose is not historical details, but to inspire people, in their case its the story of the little guy who stood against the bigger guy and won. Now, do you see where I was going with this concerning Russian Ethos about its soldiers spirit and its army strength? btw its not really unique, many nationalistic, "closed", third world country in your vicinity, has similar notions though in your case the sacrifice during the great patriotic war gave wings to its own myth.

Walsingham Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Though, it is a bit dated though. And fairly lazy to pick them for a target to mock. Yeah. Definitely lazy comedy to pick a relatively obscure German admiral and make fun of the fact that he became fuhrer only in time to surrender. Practically Little Britain lazy... "It wasn't lies.

This is obviousl Nazi propaganda, it's strange when such rude fabrication so good in brainwash of modern Europeans.
Gorgon Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Ahh yes, propaganda. Of course. Don't like them so much anymore. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

A Google search would tell you that Finn Wigforss was a Norwegian volunteer serving in the 5th SS Panzer Division Wiking, which saw heavy action on the Eastern Front. Furthermore, the uniforms are a pretty close match to real ones as far as I can see. But, of course, a page without incessant Soviet propaganda and revisionism wouldn't be complete, eh obs? Note: And before you start complaining, note that no one disagreed that it wasn't propaganda. Only to you can that seem factual and accurate. To us, it's simply an interesting example of front art.

Ok, let's consider his drawing more closely. Soviet soldier on the pic wear this German waffenrock and these German pants instead of Soviet Gymnasterka http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnasterka 1941-1942 or 1943 -1945 and Soviet Galife pants also Jackets in Red Army have different appearance(and only officiers wear them). These SS soldiers capture own Wermacht soldiers? Or just this " Norwegian volunteer serving in the 5th SS Panzer Division Wiking, which saw heavy action on the Eastern Front" don't known how Soviet uniform looks like (it is obvious nonsense)? On other pic's situation is not better, Soviets wear on them "something" looks like beggars dress, but not Soviet uniform. Now consider them faces. Looks similar. Yes, firstly such Pithecanthropus-faces appeared in British propaganda yet in XIX century and used for British poorfags - British workers and Socialists. After Revolution of 1917 year Britt's make intervention into Soviet Russia and this image of prehistoric humans used again for Russian poorfags and Bolsheviks in British propaganda (notice - Russians from White movement drawed as niormal people). After defeat many members of White movement flee into Poland, where anti-communist propaganda continue use this image of poorfags. and in Nazi Germany. and on pictures of imaginary " Finn Wigforss" we see same faces of British poorfags also (and many other Propaganda Cliche's, don't want waste time for description of them). In summ - rude uniform error's, copypasted Propaganda Cliche's - these drawing is obvious Nazi propaganda.
Tagaziel Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) See, oby, that's why you are the source of perpetual hilarity. Wigforss served with the Wiking and wasn't in any way imaginary. You're clinging to some misguided notion that he is imaginary because he got the details wrong. No one in this thread ever treated his work as factual, objective, or photorealistic. The ape-headed Soviets are enough, especially when they're juxtaposed with Nordic ubermenschen. The only person claiming Wingforss' work might not be propaganda is you, in order to push some kind of weird agenda.
