Video with lots of late mid-late war Soviet armor

[John Kettler]

Though this doe shave a few early war items, it's mostly mid-late but heavily late, including Battle of Berlin and AUGUST STORM. Some real stunners await, but why spoil your fun? See especially 2:30, where something we've been always told never happened apparently did.
 

Regards,

How I hate when they make a video of pictures. It would be so much better to have access to the album instead.

Japanese soldiers POWs, flamethrower tanks or the Maus tank near Zossen getting destroyed by its crew.

If you mean the IS-3s, those are clearly on parade. 

Specifically this one:

Here's an image from the other end of the plaza that I don't recall seeing before:

These vehicles DID NOT see action.....Apparently 52** of them were moved to Berlin by special train, mostly with the intention of scaring the s**t out of the Western Allies present at the parade. 

TBH Hiroshima & Nagasaki kind of trumped them. 

**  I had thought it was 96, still not 100% convinced it wasn't.
