He also appears to have an M.1890 carbine slung across his back judging by the lack of a bayonet lug and stacking rod. He still has a bayonet on his belt despite the lack of a bayonet lug.

Just a reminder that this sub is pro Palestine and against all forms of Zionism

Zionism is a form of racism and Israel is committing a genocide against native Palestinians

Footage of THREE Soviet armoured trains in combat all of which i have identified with friends like @heimatforscher on twitter, Leningrad/Finnish front 1941

We have "Fascism fighter" with it's T-28 tank platform, Armoured trains No.1 and No.2 'Kolomensky Rabochiy' and 'Poldova Worker' of the 55th Div. Leningrad/Finnish front 1941.

All made use of whatever was laying around and had ammunition for their armaments in 1941. Broken/old/obsolete tanks had their turrets used, Bp No.1 Kolomensky Worker had truly ancient M1877 fortress guns found at a local artillery school in it's massive turrets that look like turbolaser turrets from star wars!

Palestine Railways H3 class 4-6-4T steam locomotive (converted from a WW1 Baldwin 4-6-0) and freight train on the Jaffa and Jerusalem line after being sabotaged by Jewish terrorists, 1946. The Zionist way of forcing the British government to allow them to colonize Palestine.

Going back to 1938, fleeing Nazi Germany, the Zionists tried to illegaly flood British mandated Palestine which led to harsh measures being taken by the British to contain the problem.

Among other things illegal Jewish immigrants were locked up in open air concentration camps, because they refused to leave and frankly in all likelihood had nowhere else to go but back to their deaths in Nazi Europe.

In 1946 after finding out the British empire were going to give Palestine its independence and that THEY (the illegal immigrant zionist jews) were not part of the deal, organized Zionist terror acts began such as the one above.

The final picture is tragic. Palestine lost its independence to a bunch of Zionist terrorists fleeing the Holocaust and they had no problem inflicting their own suffering on their new neighbors. And Israel has remained a hateful terrorist regime propped up by the west ever since.
