If ever I can suggest a read , read the Long Walk - small book, 4 - 5 hour read.
Absolutely incredible.

Thanks Treeman
Yes I am sure I have a copy here somewhere
Sadly the female member of the party never made it

What amazes me is that through it all, they did not think of eating the snakes. Like how do you die from hunger while trying to avoid big snakes?
I was greatly saddened when I read that the author had died, I have carried him with me most of my life. ]]> General Discussion Treeman https://systemz.online/general-discussion/propaganda-never-dies/#post-3978 Re: Propaganda never dies https://systemz.online/general-discussion/propaganda-never-dies/#post-3969 Sun, 18 Feb 2024 11:01:07 +0000

I proceeded to read the book again 2 - 3 years ago and while doing so so the news headlines, " last survivor of the Long Walk dies"
I think they walked 5000 km, from Siberian Steppe through Mongolia - the Gobi Desert, mentions 4 - 5 days without water.

He escaped from a gulag in Siberia and traveled 14,000 km (8700 mi) for 3 years to return home

Zhukov famously used companies of largely unarmed troops to clear mine fields in the assault on Berlin as he figured that it would be the quickest way. They've never been scared of a casualty or two. 


I guess if you use Vodka as an aid to pregnancy, than having fetal alcohol syndrome is the correct skill set for mine clearing operations in the Russian infantry :o]]> General Discussion Againstthegrains https://systemz.online/general-discussion/propaganda-never-dies/#post-3927 Re: Propaganda never dies https://systemz.online/general-discussion/propaganda-never-dies/#post-3913 Thu, 08 Feb 2024 22:26:23 +0000
I was going to add, that the Russians relied on meat grinder tactics and sheer mass and numbers to overcome. It seems like not much has changed.

Thanks for the link, I landed up seeing a few of them. I find it interesting that the movies portrayed the Germans as being smart, innovative, having good leaders, and being technically superior.

Hats off to their integrity.

Its for the same reason that the Ukrainians did so well in the beginning of the war compared to the Russians. Once the Russians learned from this, is became more of a stalemate. ]]> General Discussion Againstthegrains https://systemz.online/general-discussion/propaganda-never-dies/#post-3899 Re: Propaganda never dies https://systemz.online/general-discussion/propaganda-never-dies/#post-3898 Wed, 07 Feb 2024 22:32:38 +0000

Much as one might dislike some aspects of what America is today one needs to look beyond that and see what one can learn.
