z fire

[Epoletov [SPR].]

I read Vasily's Krysov book " Batery, fire! ", it was at war on KV, SU-122, SU-85, T--34-85.

And it writes, that German tankmen left the fighting machines, елси they were not serviceable.
For German command the main thing was to keep crew.
It was ordered to Soviet tankmen to remain in the damaged tanks and to continue fight.
They could leave them, only if the tank will light up.
Otherwise execution, but many voluntary so were at war.
Different mentality of Germans and Russian, different education and the attitude to human life.

The trained crew will not be afraid of that that to it not dangerously. :smoke:
And cowards always were in each army, but of them quickly got rid during war. ;)
