Hello comrades!
I just looked for the soviet hero soldier from the halloween event, and he is actually real!
Emelyan Barykin ingame:
Emelyan Barykin in real life:
History in short:
He was part of an partizan group which blew up multiple german garrisons, trains and bridges.
Having such awesome war heroes in a halloween event is awesome…
What do you think?
Also, even the profile picture resembles him!

Great to learn from you as always. Do you have any information on Katsuo Kato? I heard there was a soldier who stole a set of Samurai armour and used it in battle in WW2. I am not too sure about the details though.
Even the monsters are historically accurate.

That actually great NGL and very interesting
Famous German soldier Mad Hans - Führer Road definitely ripped the sleeves off every tunic he was issued and loved breathing in a gas mask.
True story.

I believe the sleeveless German dude was based off of the historically accurate “Animal Mother” from Full Metal Jacket.

So sad they couldn’t do this for the American
