Just one guess so far, and it's wrong. The NKVD didn't serve in the Wehrmacht.
Was it Russian Liberation Army?
If you're talking about Vlasov's lot, they weren't exactly lionised by the USSR. The bunch I'm talking about was mentioned in the Pravda in 1946 as heroes, and a film was later made about their exploits.Quote:

He was an active hunter and sportsman, and his time before WWI was spent in different roles in the army. In 1914 when fighting against the "Mad Mullah", he was shot in the face, thus injuring his left eye and forcing him to wear an eyepatch. By 1915 he was sent to the Western Front. There he commanded successively three battalions and a brigade. In the course of the battles in France, he was awarded the VC and was wounded seven times during the war, losing his left hand.
After the end of WWI he was in command of a British mission to Poland. During it he became close to the Poles and he was given a use of an estate on the Pripet Marshes. He spent his time there hunting until July 1939, when his mission was re-established. After the Fall of Poland he returned to to England. In April-May 1940 he was in command of a British fiasco, which later led to the resignation of the British Prime Minister.
He was then sent to North Ireland to train a division. In April 1941 he was sent on a new military mission to Yugoslavia, but on the way there his plane crashed in the sea. After swimming a one mile stretch to the coast, he was captured by the Italians. He made five unsuccessful attempts at escape, but was eventually repatriated in 1943.
After his return to England, he was sent on a mission to China. He worked there until the Japanese surrender in August 1945. After that he moved to Ireland and spent the remaining days of his life in retirement hunting wildlife and fishing.
Who is this fine fella?
Adrian carton de Wiart?
(did i spell it right?)
Aye, you answered correctly. Your turn now!
This man was the son of a very powerful man. He even served his father for some time, but decided that he was to work on his own. His father was against this, and fought the son. The son won this fight and began to work seperatly from his father. They later healed their old wounds and fought together, side by side, in many conflicts to come.
Who are the two?
lolz...that could be almost any 'strong man'...perhaps you could be a bit more explicit?
Saying anything more would give it away. :grin2: (I think i made a good one this time)Quote:
