Description
The Soviet Naval Infantry 1917-91 by David Greentree is a detailed study of the evolution and appearance of Soviet naval infantry units from the October Revolution to the end of the Soviet era. Featuring specially commissioned artwork and carefully chosen archive photographs, this book assesses the organization, uniforms, insignia, weaponry, and personal equipment of these units. The Soviet Union's naval infantry played a significant role in several key conflicts, including the defence of Leningrad, Odessa, and Sevastopol during World War II. The unit also participated in amphibious assaults on Manchuria in 1945 and had a vital strategic role in capturing an aggressor's geographical exits to the oceans. This book provides absorbing detail on these developments and their impact on the Soviet Union's military capabilities. With eight plates of specially commissioned artwork alongside carefully chosen archive photographs, this study offers a comprehensive look at the history and appearance of the Soviet Union's naval infantry.
