Those who are in any way seriously interested in the art of war, science, need to know not only the entire system of military ranks of one or another army, but also know how the ranks of different armies are related, which ranks of one army correspond to the ranks of another army. There is a lot of confusion in the existing literature on these issues,

The first mass Soviet steel helmet SSh-36 appeared in the Red Army in 1936, and by the end of the year it became obvious that it had a lot of shortcomings.

Attempts to improve the helmet led to the emergence of a number of experimental models, some of which underwent military tests.

Metal helmets, widely used in the armies of the world long before our era, lost their protective value by the 18th century due to the massive proliferation of firearms.

The abundance of samples of uniforms and equipment accepted for supply in the Red Army led to the fact that tankers, even within the same military unit or unit, could be equipped in different ways. The commanders of the light tanks of the Red Army and the Wehrmacht shown in the photo look like what thousands of tankers looked like on the first day of the war. If possible, the most common options for uniforms and equipment are indicated in the descriptions, but, of course, the material cannot claim to be exhaustive.

The name From the hero to the frunzevka In publicism, there is a version that the budenovka was developed back in the First world war in such helmets, the Russians were supposed to go through the victory parade in Berlin. However, no confirmed evidence of this has been found. But according to the documents, the history of the competition for the development of uniforms for the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army is well traced. The competition was announced on May 7, 1918, and on December 18, the Revolutionary Military Council of the republic approved a sample of a winter headdress - a helmet,

Emblem Airborne troops- in the form of a parachute surrounded by two planes - is known to everyone. It became the basis for the subsequent development of all the symbols of units and formations of the Airborne Forces. This sign is not only an expression of a soldier's belonging to the winged infantry, but also a kind of symbol of the spiritual unity of all paratroopers. But few people know the name of the author of the emblem.

In 1935, by order of the People's Commissariat of Defense of December 3, new uniforms and insignia were introduced for all personnel of the Red Army.

The Soviet system of insignia is unique. Such a practice cannot be found in the armies of other countries of the world, and it was, perhaps, the only innovation of the communist government, otherwise the order was copied from the rules of the army insignia of tsarist Russia. The insignia of the first two decades of the existence of the Red Army were buttonholes, which were later replaced by shoulder straps. The rank was determined by the shape of the figures triangles, squares, rhombuses under the star,

They do not emit a warlike roar, they do not sparkle with a polished surface, are not decorated with embossed coats of arms and plumes, and quite often are generally hidden under jackets. However, today it is simply unthinkable to send soldiers into battle or ensure the safety of VIPs without these unpretentious-looking armor. Body armor is clothing that prevents bullets from entering the body and, therefore, protects a person from shots. It is made from materials that dissipate

In the last century, during the Soviet Union, there was the highest rank of Generalissimo. However, during the entire existence of the Soviet Union, this title was not awarded to a single person, except for Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin. That this person should be awarded the highest military rank, asked the proletarian people themselves for all their services to the Motherland. This happened after the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany in the 45th year. Soon that the working people asked for such an honor

The story about the introduction of insignia in the Soviet army will have to start with some general questions. In addition, a small excursion into the history of the Russian state will be useful, so as not to formulate empty references to the past. By themselves, shoulder straps represent a kind of product that is worn on the shoulders in order to indicate the position or rank, as well as the type of troops and service affiliation. This is done in several ways, fastening strips, asterisks, making gaps, chevrons.

The era, which is a couple of decades long, which begins after the Bolsheviks came to power, marked itself with numerous changes in the life of the once former Empire. The reorganization of practically all structures of peaceful and military activity turned out to be a rather lengthy and controversial process. In addition, we know from the course of history that immediately after the revolution, Russia was engulfed in a bloody civil war, which did not go without intervention. It is hard to imagine that the original ranks

The entire period of the existence of the USSR can be divided into several stages according to various epochal events. As a rule, changes in the political life of the state lead to a number of cardinal changes, including in the army. The pre-war period, which is limited to 1935-1940, went down in history as the birth of the Soviet Union, and special attention should be paid not only to the state of the material part of the armed forces, but also to the organization of the hierarchy in management. Before the beginning of this period, there was

Back in World War II, German soldiers were terrified by marines. Since then, the latter have been assigned a second name, black death or black devils, indicating the inevitable reprisal against those who encroach on the integrity of the state. Perhaps this nickname has something to do with the fact that the infantryman wore a black pea jacket. Only one thing is known for certain if the enemy is afraid, then this is already the lion's share of victory, and, as you know, the motto is considered the symbol of the Marine Corps

Considering all the stages of the creation of the armed forces of Russia, it is necessary to plunge deeply into history, and even though during the time of the principalities there is no talk of Russian empire and even more so about the regular army, the emergence of such a concept as defense capability begins precisely from this era. In the XIII century, Russia was represented by separate principalities. Although their military squads were armed with swords, axes, spears, sabers and bows, they could not serve as reliable protection from outside encroachments. Unified army

Even before the First World War, a uniform appeared in the Russian army, consisting of a khaki trousers, a tunic shirt, an overcoat and boots.

Edging, shoulder straps, buttonholes changed in uniforms, and the field uniform remained practically unchanged.

Then it became known as the NKVD of the RSFSR. Then, as the union republics were formed,

The Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army of the Red Army entered the Second World War in a uniform of the 1935 model. Around the same time, the soldiers of the Wehrmacht acquired their familiar appearance.

On the basis of the adopted norms, in a secret regime, the preparation of a detailed regulation on the supply of clothing equipment to the army, conducting hostilities, was carried out. On June 30, 1941, hastily revised in connection with the unexpected German attack on the USSR, this information was announced by the circular of the chief intendant for the information of the entire Red Army. However, at that moment, in the first place was the question not of supplying the front, but of rescuing front-line reserves from those areas where the troops were retreating. The beginning of the war turned out

These units became known as the Red Guard. The official date of the creation of the Red Army is February 23, 1918. Until 1946, the official name of the armed forces was the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army. Red Army, since 1946 the Soviet Army.

Commanders Vasily Ivanovich Chuikov Born on February 12, 1900 in Serebryanye Prudy, near Venev, Vasily Ivanovich Chuikov was the son of a peasant. From the age of 12, he worked as a saddler's apprentice, and when he turned 18, he joined the Red Army. In 1918, during civil war, he participated in the defense of Tsaritsyn later - Stalingrad, and in 1919 he joined the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks and was appointed regiment commander. In 1925 Chuikov graduated Military academy them. M.V. Frunze, then participated

In 1943, the Red Army adopted a new uniform. The new tunic was very similar to the one used in the tsarist army and had a stand-up collar fastened with two buttons. The main distinguishing feature of the new uniform was shoulder straps. There were two types of shoulder straps: field and everyday. Field shoulder straps were made of khaki fabric. On the shoulder straps near the button, they wore a small gold or silver badge, denoting the type of troops. The officers wore a cap with a black leather chinstrap. The color of the band of the cap depended on the type of troops. In winter, the generals and colonels of the Red Army had to wear hats, and the rest of the officers received ordinary earflaps.

And now more thoroughly:

Back in the summer months of 1941, preparations were launched to provide the personnel of the Red Army with warm clothes for the winter. The main warm things, first of all, fur coats and felt boots, were sought in various pre-war warehouses, collected as an aid to the army from the population, and were produced at an accelerated pace by industry with tolerances in the direction of simplification and reduction in cost. As a result, the active army was completely satisfied with warm things. Which led to some variety in color and cut of the form in the winter of 1941/1942.

By the way, the German industry could not provide its army with winter uniforms, and it is not necessary to say that the blitzkrieg, assumed the capture of Moscow before winter, it was already clear in the fall that it did not smell like blitzkrieg. And the capture of Moscow did not mean the end of the war, nor did they go to the tropics, so somewhere the German quartermasters were underworked, therefore, during the winter hostilities, the Wehrmacht's losses from frostbite exceeded the number of combat losses.

The composition of the rear units and institutions, motor transport units of combat formations, as well as drivers of all branches of the military, instead of an overcoat, began to be given a double-breasted wadded jacket. The great tension with the provision of clothing was due to the decline in the output of light industry products, some of whose enterprises had not yet established production in the evacuation, and those who remained in the field were experiencing difficulties with raw materials, energy and labor. For those who like to argue whose uniform or whose tanks and aircraft are the best, and so on, the answer is simple.

Transfer of a very large number of defense enterprises beyond the Urals, and their launch into the technological cycle in such a short time. It has no analogues in history, just in such volumes and at such distances, no one has ever moved the industry, and is unlikely to transfer it in the future, the largest industrial migration. So just for this feat the rear officials need to build a huge, enormous monument. By the way, German industry was completely transferred to a war footing only in 1943, and before that, only 25% went to military needs of the total.

For the same reason, the project on the introduction of new insignia, prepared for May 1942, was postponed, which assumed by October 1, 1942 to provide the entire Red Army with shoulder straps.
