Summary[edit]

Description
English: WW2 militaria, collectables, mannequins in military uniforms, etc.
  • Wehrmacht winter uniform (cold weather clothing for soldiers in the German army). The German planning for Operation Barbarossa did not take sufficient account of the harsh Russian winter conditions, partly conditioned by their belief that their victory over the Soviet Union would be swift, and achieved before winter set in.
  • German propaganda poster in Ukrainian 1941-42: Душогуб та підпалювач Сталін програвся! ('Murderer and arsonist Stalin you have lost!') Програма кровожерного Сталіна ('The program of blood-thirsty Stalin')
  • Uniform of an officer in the Red Army of the Soviet Union
  • Firearms:
    • Soviet PPSh-41, the standard submachine gun used by Soviet troops throughout the war.
    • Soviet rifle
etc.
