Formations
A column of ISII tanks near Berlin in 1945 rights unverified
30 formations, from Fronts down to the militia. Red for Soviet, blue for German — the 1945 situation-map convention.
24 formations show their commander’s portrait, named under it — the photograph is of the man, not of the army. The other 6 carry a drawn device, because no commander is recorded for them and no photograph can stand in.
