I read about a russian guy in stalingrad who reported that all his men were alive & well, when infact they were almost all dead. He did this because he was getting their vodka ration daily. When the other commanders eventually heard about this they wanted him repremanded, but he was to be awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union for holding off so many Germans. I can imagine a drunken Russian, vodka bottle in one hand & machine gun in the other holding off waves of the wehrmacht rock: biggrin: cool:
