Your SAK and a Panzerfaust
on: April 09, 2018, 01:08:21 AM
Some topics roll on forever and never die... this is (probably) not one of them!

We went for a wander past some wind turbines, into what is now a nature reserve but which had once been used by the Soviets as a training ground during the cold war. As you can see they left quite a bit of garbage behind!
All this stuff was just lying on the surface, or half buried in sand. These spent cartridges are huge - the orange Pioneer should give some sense of scale - so I imagine they were anti-tank rounds (?)

The orange lanyard comes from a Lindt chocolate lamb which survived Easter only to be eaten yesterday. There's a bell on there too, which is bloody annoying!

Right... I've got an artillery shell kicking about here somewhere... back in a bit...

Edit: screw that, I'm too tired - I'll post a pic of it tomorrow morning though... promise!  :D

Pssst...!
You might want to reconsider the name of this thread...
That's looking more like a RPG-7, not a Panzerfaust...

I'm sure Thunderpants already knows that, but Panzerfaust sounds so much better!

Well it's not Welsh!

It could be Bulgarian, I suppose - it could also be a bunch of weird names and terribly rude words which your sister wouldn't know about. Who knows!
The numbers are probably just the dates when these poor old conscripts were stuck in East Germany.

It appears Cyrillic which could be any number of south slavic languages: Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, or Montenegrin. If not Russian, Ukrainian or Belarusian, the next guess in a former Warsaw Pact nation would be Bulgarian. The other south slavic languages using Cyrillic would be from the former Yugoslavia which the Soviets could never rope into their sphere or the Warsaw Pact. OTOH, Bulgaria was completely under Soviet domination.

True as well - any of the former Soviet republics would have been using Cyrillic. Kazakh is written in three alphabets: Arabic, Cyrillic and Latin. The Cyrillic comes from Russian Empire and Soviet domination of the region. Kazakhstan is doing complete conversion to Latin Alphabet, to be accomplished by 2025.

The graffiti are written in Russian Cyrillic.
Most of this graffiti are Soviet Asian and Caucasian names ("Мухаммадиев Хужамурод" -- "Mukhammadiev Khuzhamurod", "Ваха" -- "Vakha", etc.), two are the soldiers' hometowns names ("Ереван" -- "Yerevan", the capital of Armenia; "Грозный" -- "Grozny", the capital of Chechnya).

"ДМБ 87-89". "DMB" stands for demobilisation; the person who wrote it served in the Soviet Army in 1987-1989.

Peacent's blue alox bullet looks like it was made for fussy soldiers. "Excuse me General, but there is no way I am going to war with boring copper bullets. I want blue ones that match my eyes. And if I could have a tent the same colour that would be lovely..."
