Piper Harry Lunan was the last surviving piper and he said: “I just played whatever came in to my head, but I was worried about tripping on the uneven ground, which interrupted my playing. The enemy fire was murderous, the men were falling all around me. I was lucky to survive. Hearing the pipes gave the troops courage.” 62. Having your computer delivered in 1940. 63.

65. British troops march past the Great Pyramids in Egypt, 1940. 66. WWII pin up girls. 67. The Russian imperial family in 1913. Five years later, all of them were shot at the hands of the Soviets. 68. Two Soviet infantrymen frozen to death in their foxhole, Finland, 1940 The Soviets had to bring troops from far away to the Finnish front. Some of the soldiers were from the south and hadn’t ever experienced winter conditions like this before, combine that with Finnish patrols destroying the support lines and the hardest winter in a lifetime. The lack of food and supplies was huge, they did lack winter warfare training and gear. The saddest thing about this is that just bycovering that fox hole with some branches and putting snowon top the temperature in the foxhole would have risen to about -3 Celsius. With those heavy coats, the soldiers might even have felt necessity to strip some layers. But that’s whathappens when you send untrained troops to the Front. The Soviets didn’t care too much for their soldiers training. 2 Likes 2 Shares
