Re: 2nd Independent Czechoslovak Airborne Brigade in Soviet Union
Yes, this is the reason why I am asking. It is really not so easy. But from my point of view the infantry bread bag obr. 1941 is smaller as this backpack. Also what is important to know the webbing (harness) of the concerned backpack is really very close to Y strap webbing (prigonka) used by RKKA soldiers. Does anybody have any pictures of Red Army Airborne Units in 1944 and 1945 because that time of WWII they were more used as light infantry (just ground operations) as regular paratroopers. E.g. in Slovakia fought two divisions 6th Guard and 4th Guard Airborne Divisions. MAy be we can find on those pictures or at the others some similarities. But I am not sure.
