That’s an insane amount of artillery shells in that time frame, must have shook the ground for miles.
Today in 1944 the soviet shock army’s in the Oranienbaum at 0935 let their guns sing a song of over 100,000 shells liquifying the earth and fascist positions alike in the artillery barrage with a concentration of over 180 guns per kilometre lasting for 90 minutes, when the combat against the fascist front defensive positions quickly end with the shock army’s body armour proving effective against German guns, the shock army’s advance to the German second defensive line, sending the defending fascist into chaos
Today also marks an increase in partisan attacks against fascist infrastructure slowing down reserve a moving to the front.
>Today the liberators smash the first fascist defensive lines
nothing about the soviet army was even remotely a “liberation” force.
the soviets did not just occupy parts of germany. they occupied all of eastern europe. nazi-germany is bad. the soviet union isn’t better.
The Soviet Union, former ally and accomplice of Nazi Germany, managed to liberate the city of Leningrad from the former ally and accomplice’s siege.
Criminals among themselves.
Sorry, we’re not in the mood to celebrate Russian military victories. Try again next year.

In very poor taste to post this during the current war and especially today. More civilian casulties and the claim they fight fascists in Ukraine.
nooo OMG sovet are same as country that want to remove my rase from existing
Daily reminder:the red army of the Soviet Union fought against Russian AND Ukrainian Nazi collaborators.
This was a war between bad guys and a lot of people in the meat grinder in the middle.
Back in the day commies fought the fascists, anyone’s guess which ones were the worse. Today Russians are the fascists, well discount version of them perhaps, still just as fucked in the head.
Ahh the liberators that casually committed ethnic cleansing in Baltic countries.
Only one nation is proud of soviets history and want it bring back. But most others nations want move on. For me nazis and soviets were same who kill lot of people. Only differents is that they were winner side. People who want remember that there were also othet nationalities want bring common strugle and good times. But there was not this was same genocide or stealing. Please down grade and this is russian soft power move simply.
Liberators of all the Eastern Europe. They liberated them of freedom and prosperity.
Less than a century later, nazis are still alive, but on the other side.
It’s very weird that a lot of people’s knee jerk reactions in this thread was to engage in Nazi apologia.

The post is just talking about liberating people from facists, why do you people have such a massive problem with it?
comments are brainrot asf
Calling Soviet army “liberators” unironically is is very strange
The comments here are a disgrace. Brains so polluted with current events and own-side propaganda that they forget that Ukraine and Russia formed one nation not so long ago and so many Ukrainians died fighting the Nazis.
Glory to the heroic defenders of Leningrad. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. Their courage against the nazi genociders is unmatched in history.
Soviets: **You are being liberated. Please do not resist**
The Soviets were an extremely oppressive and inhuman force and haven’t liberated a single soul but only enslaved millions.
fuck putin and all russian terrorists on this day
Artillery – The god of war
r/europe try not to say soviets were as bad as nazis for 5min challenge – 100% impossible
I’m not sure who we are calling liberators here. Hardly a fitting term for the Soviets.
“Yeah, I support the troops.”
Liberators is, in hindsight, a very inaccurate description.
