AUGUST STORM article (lots of pics)


Recommended Posts

Was doing some digging for a CoC colleague ref Japanese cavalry in Manchuria and found this most useful to CM future endeavors in the East. It has this truly remarkable pic, and another which will show exactly what the blithe expression "crossing the Grand Kinghan Mountains" really looked like. You might say it helps bring to life what HSU Dmitry Loza had to say of the experience. The pic in the article is of relatively level ground, but some of the slopes were so steep T-34s had to tow the highly respected Sherman tanks! BT-7s (yes, BT-7s in garrison long before the GPW and kept there to hold Japan's Kwangtung Army at bay even when Russia was in dire peril) simply died on those punishing steep slopes. Loza reported not one made it.
