I have a friend who will love this. Plays a Russian Army in
Flames of War and likes to wear theme t shirts. Cool, cheap, and simple.
Prior to WWII, Stalin purged over 50% of the Red Army officers in fear of a military coup. The Soviet Army's lack of leadership is cited as a major contributor to their inability to even slow down the Germans when they invaded in 1941.
The Russian Army featured one of my favorite historical vehicles, the
T-34 tank. It has been credited with being the best tank of WWII. I got to see one a few years ago at a tank museum. Very cool.
