Red Army Horses (1941-1945) by Timur Muminov [Тимур Муминов] (13.8.2019) 

The time of severe trials proved the expediency of organizing a special fund of selected horse stock. In total, about three million horses came from the national economy to the front. Even more of them would be needed if, thanks to a well-organized military Veterinary Service, the vast majority of slightly wounded and sick animals did not return to Service – but were returned to the Home-Front to continue their vital patriotic services. However, more than a million uncomplaining Soviet War-Horse died in the anti-fascist war! Already, by 1942, the USSR was short of horses – with the shortfall being met by purchases from its allies in Mongolia!

Russia: Bonnie & Clyde Celebrate 77th Year of Victory Over Fascism! (10.5.2022)

I am not an expert of the biographies of these two professional gangsters from the Great Depression era of 1930s America! The US economy was only saved by the full mobilisation of the population for military service and industrial output for war! If this had not happened, capitalism in 1930s America looked like it was in terminal decline! The wealth WWII generated for the US, coupled with its armies occupying and taking lands overseas, ensured the US would becime a world power post-1945! Bonnie and Clyde, of course, both died together in a hail of police Bullets in and 1934 – a year after Hitler came to power – although Mussolini had been in power since 1922!
