PPSH-41 

A number of child soldiers served in the Soviet Union's armed forces during World War II. In some cases, orphans unofficially joined the Soviet Red Army or partisans in order to avenge their fallen family. Such children were affectionately known as "son of the regiment" (Russian: сын полка). Small uniforms were tailored for these children, they were armed and performed military roles such as reconnaissance, combat and sabotage.

Son of the regiment

This rather disturbing photo was taken at Majdanek concentration camp in August 1944, and features Russian soldiers staring in bewilderment at the ashes of thousands of the camps previous occupants. During WWII, from 1941-1944 Majdanek housed thousands of Jews from Eastern Europe. Records suggest that around 78,000 people died there. According to the State Museum at Majdanek around 59,000 Jews were exterminated there and 19,000 from other ethnic backgrounds. Majdanek was surrounded by an electrified, barbed-wire fence and nineteen watchtowers. It was over-run on July 23rd, 1944 by the advancing Red Army. The evidence they found there was so extreme that when a British reporter sent the BBC a detailed report on Maidanek they refused to use it, believing it was Russian propaganda. Then they discovered other camps, like Buchenwald and came to the realisation that it wasn’t propaganda after-all and killing had occurred at Majdanek on an industrial scale.
