WW1 US soldiers wearing A.T and decontamination suit

You can see the differences between the WW1 US C.E and R.F.K Gas Masks. Main difference is the 5 point and 6 point Head Harness and the facepiece which on the R.F.K is bigger to incorporate the Anti fog lens pockets.

The Recording is From the Chechen war

Anything WW2 related and WW1 related is cool

All of the participants who requested a retreat were killed in battle after the recording

Damn

😬

By their superiors? Or by the actual fighting?

Actual fighting

They were pinged down

Ah I see

Translation of the recording:
UNKNOWN Chechen soldier; alik, before it's too late, tell your men to retreat. Don't do this, don't do this, in any case, alik, you and me will die. What's the point of all this? Who will win this? You and I will not survive, understand? If we or I see you in the action, I won't show you mercy, just like you, understand? Its better if you to come at me as a guest. Retreat your men. Have pity for their mothers, have pity for your guys retreat them. Give them the order to retreat.
Russian officer: I can't give that order.
UNKNOWN Chechen: alik, from my heart, I wish that you survive this, but you better leave.
Russian officer; I don't have a choice. I have my orders and I'll obey them in any case.
[Radio silence]
[End of recording]

Somehow Google translate kept mixing up Russian soldier with Chechen soldier, <:Teeth:798301808996384828>

Sorry for the confusion

But all the Russian soldiers that didn't get the order to retreat did die

That day

<:Teeth:798301808996384828>

Oof

Yep Google translate Made me look stupid

And had me give incorrect information

<:Teeth:798301808996384828>

It's ok, since it's related to a different recording
