Halloween event characters are actually historically accurate?

Hello comrades!

I just looked for the soviet hero soldier from the halloween event, and he is actually real!

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.

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.

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