The
Soviet Red Army was the "Cinderella story" of World War II. Battered
and nearly defeated by the German invasion of 1941, the poorly-equipped and
poorly-trained Red Army nevertheless compensated for its lack of finesse on
the battlefield with tenacious fighting ability and the will to win. By the
Spring of 1945, it was the German Army's turn to scramble back and defend its
capital against an onrushing Soviet horde.
Red
Army Scout "Vladimir" represents the vanguard WWII Soviet infantryman
on the verge of victory. With the Eastern Front crumbling and the capture of
Vienna in March 1945, very little separated the Red Army from bulling its way
to the heart of Berlin. Soviet Scout "Vladimir" is dressed as a late-war
Red Army soldier, with the characteristic stand-up collar gymnastiorka tunic
and pilotka sidecap. Over his uniform, he wears a unique camouflage hooded coverall
often used by scouts in advance of regular army units. His distinctive appearance
and PPSh submachine gun weapon give him a 'classic' Red Army soldier profile
-- en route to Hitler's bunker and final victory!
