it was cool to see that the red army was constantly and gradually increasing in it's strength; however, it's strength really shocked the world after world war II. From being easily taken down by the Nazi's to having an army capable of taking over Berlin in just a year is shocking.
Great images and interesting statistics of the growth of the party. It may also be interesting to consider how their power grew to a point where they dominated the Soviet Union.
