It wasn’t a hunting rifle it was a combat rifle. At Stalingrad in order to hold the city the Soviet’s were pumping troops in faster than they could equip them so some soldiers were sent into combat without a weapon. It was expected they would either…
A. Be killed
B. Capture a weapon
C. Acquire a weapon from a fallen comrade
In more or less that order.
Naturally this only occured because of the emergency at Stalingrad. It was not something that was common throughout the war.
Your thinking about Enemy of the Gates. I think it was cause they didnt have enough guns to go around or something like that.
Typically Hollywood knows nothing about everything.
This better get Best Answer hey!
This was never the case for the glorious Red Army whom were far more supplied then what you think. What you are talking about applied for the Penal Battalions which were an effective way of using criminals of the state against enemy lines. Had Cold War became Hot America would have been doomed.
For Penal Battalions doing this saved ammo and supplies to the real Soviet Divisions. Stalingrad had nothing to do with the Penal Battalions but a grand encirclement by General Zhukov of the Soviet South Army in the early times of 1943 when German supplies and mobility ran low.
