gwb123 Posted May 21, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 21, 2020 This year, 2020, would have marked the 75th Anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany and the end of World War II in Europe. The Russians certainly had a huge parade planned to mark the occasion, but this was set aside like everything else in the world in order to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. So offered instead is all of the pomp, circumstance and pageant of the next best thing, the 2019 Victory Day Parade. There are uniforms and medals galore. For those of you into vehicles, they start at about 12 minutes into the video, lead by a T-34 that rumbles down the street like it is still 1945. If you look closely, you will still see red hammer and sickle flags interspersed among the units. Purely for historical purposes, surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwb123 Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted May 21, 2020 If you liked this one... the 2018 parade had a selection of historic uniforms starting around 8 minutes to 11:20. Around 18 min and later at 19:30, you will see historic vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
