Picture the scene. It is the Eastern Front in 1943 and you are a German soldier on the frontline. In the distance, you can see and hear a line of T-34 tanks trundling and clacking towards your position but more than that, riding on the back of them behind their turrets are swarms of Soviet troops all clutching a small but distinctive weapon. You’ve come to know this weapon very well and with the knowledge of what it can do, you begin firing your MG42 machine gun hoping to kill as many of the Soviet troops as you can before they get in range for once they do, you know hell will be unleashed upon you. • Every war has its weapon that helps symbolise the struggle of nations and one of the most distinctive of the eastern front where the conflict is remembered as the Great Patriotic War was the PPSh-41 submachine gun. This crude but effective little weapon would be instrumental in turning the tide against the Axis forces attempting to bear down on Moscow and would prove the old Soviet adage that quantity has a quality all of its own.
