ILYA, What utterly Wonderful Photos, showing the wear of TR Items by Russians ...from the "Great Patriotic War."

Keep Collecting them & Posting MORE....

Thanks also for your advice regarding buying TR Items in Russia. I tried in St. P'Burg, but to no avail - it was always "....At 1st NO, then it was you have to go to see a friend of a friend, in some out of the way place..."

"IF" I could have connected on a Blade - it would have been OK. The Russian Customs NEVER used the Metal Detectors when getting through, and then back onto the Ship!

Thanks for your Advice on what special WW2 sights to see.... TXs, Dave / dblmed

I agree with Hats & Coats (No offence intended) about the rarity of seeing the Social Welfare being worn. I notice that the chap had the dagger in backwards so the Facist insignia was not shown. Probably very wise in those days as a small thing like that could get you into a LOT of trouble.


If you want to criticise someone first walk a mile in their shoes. Then, when they come after you, you'll be a mile ahead and they'll be barefoot.

I agree Terry, I noticed that in a lot of the pictures, while somewhat difficult to tell for sure, it appears that almost all of the captured German daggers are being worn reversed in their scabbards. Take for example the fellow with HJ dagger, it is clearly reversed in the scabbard, as appears to be the case with many of the SA daggers. I was then wondering if it would it be difficult Ilya, to research if the Russian High Command issued any order to that affect for the wear of captured German daggers?

Great photos that make something of a significant social comment in IMHO. ~ Ian

That face impresion plus SA dagger and very emotional dedication. Truly one of a kind.
BTW.: the 3 guys loaded with pistols and MP's on the picture // are soldiers of the Polish Army (typical caps and insignia).

Yes indeed, Polish soldiers with MP's and WH sabre.

The most terrible is tahat all this brave Russiand were jailed by Stalin when they get back home from Germany and lost their lifes somwhere in a deep east in work camps.

What was the reason ? They have seen too much of the West....

Seen too much of the rotten decadent west which didn't compute to the "paradise of the Prolitariet". "Fronters" who would talk...and be believed. Can't have that. Frown

Thanks! Such photos really are very difficult for finding. I will add photos in a thread gradually. But I very much liked a photo with other plot.

Before Putin during the Yeltsin open season, a number of Russian dealers were setting up at the local militaria/gun shows with some incredible photos including those that documented atrocities. Never saw any with captured daggers. Thanks for sharing!

I love those pictures - I should think daggers and lugers etc were in demand and probably changed hands fairly readily too untill the system caught up.
