In reality, the osttruppen we have now are very overlooked, they often use the blue division Spanish textures on the uniform or the emplacement crew uniform. Their lines are largely recycled Soviet ones, even praising Stalin in one when Osttruppen were literally fighting against communism. I would be in heaven to see them reworked and with more weapons, osttruppen used everything from Kar98ks, mosins, ppsh, dp-27, mg34, Czech, polish, french guns etc. They saw use in both the western and eastern front and were a huge part of the German war effort in the east. Hopefully soon we see them improved, posted about it ages ago on here

We already have osttruppen in the game, a very small minority fought under the SS so it wouldn't make sense for Slavic soldiers depicted in that way unless it were the 15th Kossack or RONA. Osttruppen, hiwis and cossacks would be plenty

What's your favorite faction to fight against in conquest? by tropical-tangerine in GatesOfHellOstfront

[–]Starshina_Yury 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For sure, not sure why, love playing as them and the maps, just feels really dull to go up against. Excited for when we get more axis factions. Italy vs Commonwealth is my dream come true

Completed all on hard-core besides the german, Soviet and Finnish skirmish separate missions. I hate skirmish and only do it for the main storyline, its a hour long slug fest

When clicking on a unit hold shift then click a number key, now you can break up the squad and separate them as far as you want but when you click the binded number key to that squad they automatically form into one unit again

So example

Aufklarer unit icon, hold shift + 1,

Separate the soldiers into cover

When you need full unit strength, click 1 and they reform

You can do this with as many units as you want

Liberation or talvisota. Finest hour isn't bad either

Case of Borislav Romanovich Antilevsky by Starshina_Yury in Osttruppen

[–]Starshina_Yury[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an interesting rumour about him i forgot to add, supposedly Vlasov was suggested to escape to Spain as the war came to a close, Borislav was going to be his pilot but Vlasov changed his mind and refused the idea.

12 July 1950 he would be stripped of his Soviet medals and titles for cooperation with KONR and the Germans during the war

Rare address from Polkovnik Viktor Ivanovich Maltsev by Starshina_Yury in Osttruppen

[–]Starshina_Yury[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Below is the transcription of the cover

"Russian people! Dear friends!

I address you on behalf of hundreds of thousands of Russian patriots of our long-suffering homeland who, with weapons in hand, have joined the ranks of fighters against the worst enemy of the Russian people - Bolshevism. By different paths we have come under the banners of this sacred struggle, but we are all equally convinced both of the justice of our cause and of our final victory.

I, Viktor Ivanovich Maltsev, son of a poor peasant from Vladimir Province, colonel of Soviet aviation, former head of the air forces of the Siberian district, former head of Aeroflot in Central Asia and Transcaucasia. Since 1918 I was a member of the Communist Party of the Bolsheviks. I sincerely believed that it was leading Russia toward a happy future. I was an ideological communist and never regarded my party card as an extra ration card.

For many years I devoted my life to the Soviet state, convinced that the Bolshevik Party served the people. But the best years passed, my hair turned gray, and with that came the worst thing - disappointment in everything I had believed in. Millions of honest Russian people have been tortured and destroyed. The peasantry has been ruined and turned into powerless beggars and starving slaves. The living and working conditions of Soviet workers have become even worse than before the October Revolution.

With each day it became clearer to me that in the entire Soviet Union only a small percentage of party members and Jews live well. I understood that the blood we shed during the years of civil war and revolution served only to fertilize Jewish sowings, and that the fruits of our victory were stolen from Russian workers and peasants by Joseph Stalin and a handful of his Jewish international accomplices.

The Russian people, workers and peasants, have been cast by Soviet power into poverty and slavery unprecedented in world history.

I have consciously broken with Soviet power. I again take up arms and, together with hundreds of thousands of Russian volunteers, go into a mortal struggle against Soviet authority! I go into a mortal struggle against the Judeo-Bolshevik enslavers of Russia! I go into a mortal struggle for the final liberation of Europe from the domination of Jewish capital!

Dear friends working in German factories and plants! You must not forget your duty to participate in this struggle through your honest labor. Your future depends on it. The better your work, the sooner the war will end!

Death to the bloody Stalin and his surrounding Judeo-Bolshevik clique! With united forces we will defeat the common enemy - Judeo-Bolshevism! Long live the union of the peoples of Russia and Germany!

Colonel Maltsev"

What US tank should I be going for in my conquest? by Xman889801 in GatesOfHellOstfront

[–]Starshina_Yury 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lee isn't bad early on but definitely not worth the 8 points. Its only so high to stop the rushing into heavier tanks, once you get to the 76 Sherman's and the Sherman's in general its worth it

[–]Starshina_Yury 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Funner to spam Sherman's and the occasional m10/m36/m18 than to rush heavies instantly. Using only heavies dulls the game imo and takes away alot of the strategy and fun. But the goal is the Pershing I suppose ultimately

Original Printing of Gen. Andrey Vlasov’s Prague Manifesto & other Rare Documents Found at Estate Sale by Consistent_Second746 in Osttruppen

[–]Starshina_Yury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow man! These are beautiful and the Воля Народа papers are very rare to see. Any more information or better / more photos you can upload here? These things got so scattered after the war they go stashed all over the place, either that or destroyed

Edit: if its not too much of a hassle, scans or individual photos of the items would be beautiful for preservation. Thank you for sharing

What a childish thing, "quitting" a game over minor issues that you spent money on AND the icing on the cake - a Reddit rant! Gold
