Thanks for posting B-17 ,real interesting pics - those 3 Tigers look very impressive
 
Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing.
Soviets had plenty experience with this kind of weather conditions that is why most of their tanks had much wider tracks then German tanks to begin with. Just compare T-34 with PzKw III and PzKw IV for example...
 
Here is one more picture...

Holy crap...you read about the mud in all those books, but until you actually see pics (or better yet....dive in yourself!)...


Great pics, B17!
 
Hmm, I thought this thread might have something to do with me. :)

When I've seen footage on the Russian mud; "time of no roads" or something I think they called it, it looked to be some of the worst gooey clay mess I had ever seen. It looked like it would bear some small amount of weight but if it was churned up or rolled over by equipment it looks more like wet cement than mud.

And how many boots do you think the Wermacht lost in that mess?
