List of the real war-heroes presented ingame!

Hello comrades! As a ww2 enthusiast i reserched a lot in russian ancestorypages in the internet and found out that these unique soldiers represent real award winning warheroes of their nation (with just slightly different names). The soldiers also fit in their timeperiod, like Vasily Barankov (Real life: Vasily Baranov who died in 1945 as a tanker in Berlin, awarded hero of the soviet union) is also a tanker in Berlin. I wanted to create a list of these real soldiers with their ingame names, b…

Raymond Zussman is Raymond Zussman of the 756th tank battalion, seems the devs have gotten bolder when it comes to using the actual names of people.
Raymond Zussman - Wikipedia

Edit:
James Kenally might be John Kenneally of the Irish Guards.

John Kenneally

Allan DeFonzo might be Arthur DeFranzo of the 1st Infantry Division.

Arthur F. DeFranzo

Will add it soon. I haven’t checked yet some comments from previous post as some of them weren’t included

[jopek22]

WTF is that wikipedia

[Andris42]

Johannes Steinhoff and Wilhelm Mayer have their wikipedia pages but it’s interesting how a Luftwaffe ace “flies” a tank.

[jopek22]

Will add it soon, Thanks for help

@jopek22

Petr Likhanov

Petra Timofeevich LikhachevPetra Timofeevich Likhachev

@jopek22

Machinegunner II, Vasily Arkhipov

You have omitted Machinegunner I, Vasily Arkhilov Vasily Semyonovich Askalepov

[Ice_Cricetus]

@jopek22

突击者 I, Heinz Kollmann

I insist on my point of view
for this guy, i think maybe he is Heinz HellmichHeinz Hellmich
or maybe he is Heinz HarmelHeinz Harmel
They all have keywords: “Normandy Campaign” and “commando”

@jopek22

Wilhelm Mayer

Wilhelm Mayer is Wilhelm Mayer

[jopek22]

It’s taken by another one. As I’m not an expert @Scav_Sergei should say his word here

[jopek22]

@Suicideplume

I insist on my point of view
for this guy, i think maybe he is Heinz HellmichHeinz Hellmich
or maybe he is Heinz HarmelHeinz Harmel
They all have keywords: “Normandy Campaign” and “commando”

Propably Heinz Hellmich

[jopek22]

Can you show his existance in game?

[jopek22]

@Suicideplume

Wilhelm Mayer is Wilhelm Mayer

Sorry, @115731380 was first

[秋YUI绘_Beaver食過炸蛋]

Oh one more thing, Richard McCreed is probably Richard McCreery not Roland McCreedy, that was a typo that was made. It’s an incredibly weak link, but as of right now its the only one we have. Richard McCreery - Wikipedia

apri 2021 twitch drop

@jopek22

Assaulter I, Petr Likhanov = Pjotr Laktionov

I insist on my point of view
Petra Timofeevich Likhachev is better than Pjotr Laktionov
Pjotr Laktionov is more in line with the battle of Berlin

[Ice_Cricetus]

No problem，i’m not too care about it.

[jopek22]

@47097961 Fixed
@Suicideplume Machinegunner I, Vasily Arkhilov is added

[秋YUI绘_Beaver食過炸蛋]

You missed the last name, it’s McCreery not McCreedy.

There are no real life war heroes in hte game - it says so on 2 of hte loading screens so it must be true!
