    You do know that German officers were mostly responsible for training Russian army since Peter the Great, so it is quite normal for Russian and German military traditions to be similar.

    As for similarity in uniforms, that's a laugh.

    I don't mean military parades only. Demostrations were also designed according to similar patterns.

    Short trousers and a shirt? Common "dressy" youth clothing at the time.

    You're reeeeeeally pushing it now.

    Well, I have to admit that in both case trousers have 2 legs, and shirts two arms.
    Then, of course, parades look really similar, as the one in USA, Vietnam, and all others countries having an army.

    But you forgot one very important thing - Soviets drank water. Nazis also drank water...

    "Soviets drank water. Nazis also drank water." No no no no. That is, they eat the same food, which is as well very suspicious, I grant you. However it is another subject.
    I heard for a very reliable social media (but now shut-down) that they use stoves, same kind of, and their flasks looks very similar. They also have chairs and tables, and most of their glasses are made of glass. Yes.
