what are the peculiar symbols on the vehicles in pictures 44 and 45?
They are German unit markings, but I don’t know what unit it is.
This is for NATO-style symbols but it should give you an idea how this works:

Some of the ‘German’ soldiers look more like old farts from the Volkssturm than real Wehrmacht- or SS-stormtroopers.
So you think that all german soldiers look like something from Wagners operas ?
Fascinating display of re-enactors. One minor inaccuracy however. The U.S. Air Force did not exist during the Great Patriotic War. During that time American aviation was know as the U.S. Army Air Force. The U.S. Air Force did not become a separate service until 1947.
Looks like fun
Stalin funded Hitler with oil and metal ore to build his army. Stalin knew Hitler would invade, world war 2 was a end result of Stalin and his Communist world wide agenda.
WW2 was the end result of Hitlers world conquer plan..You should read Mein Kampf
