Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Thanks Lars, Thats quite alot of weight to be lugging around on top of all the usual kit.
Great looking vest Lars. How would you like to wear that thing all day. WOW!!

I specialize in M1 carbines and Lugers.
They were usually used by Troops carrying out an assault , once that was done or at the earliest opportunity the body armour was taken off !!

Very nice indeed my friend!! Sorry about the late answer but i did not get a email notification about this post! Not good. Wonderful complete CH-42. I will think it's an original or...? Forgive me for asking but i never seen one i such good condition.
Regards, Lars
Thanks for the info mate This one is from Smolensk. It must have been a bugger carrying around!
Cheers
Hi Lars,
I think the SN-42 was rebuilt after the war. I do not know if the Red Army to keep the armor long after the war.
Regards.
