History - Soviet display of German equipment after WW2

The video comments say 1943, but that seems unlikely - others suggest 1947 or 1948.

The first 2.30 minutes or so are devoted to a/c - pretty much 1 of each, except 109's - maybe 1 of each sub-mark??

my net connection is xxxx any chance telling what it is .

struggle to get a 2g phone signal where i live and broadband piped in was no better i kid you not

It was old film from a Russian exhibition of all kinds of German military hardware captured during ww2. There were tanks, airplanes, cannons, artillery launchers, rifles, and even uniforms and medals, and at least two things I simply could not identify and unfortunately there were no English captions. But still interesting if you're a ww2 enthusiast or history buff. I also simply enjoyed seeing the people and their reactions. And one reason I suppose I am a history fanatic is that it allows me to imagine what life might have been like back then... What fears or hopes did they have for the future? What chance events transpired in just such a way to lead us to where we are today? What if lightning had struck Hitler at...some point, any point, how would things be different? What if he won? No, I'm not saying "what if he WOULD HAVE won", but what if he DID win... And we just.don't realize it? WW2 is ripe for the imagination to run wild. We will never have another war quite like that...

Yeah that would have been a disaster.

Just as well it was the forces Stalin fronted for that won!
