The prisoners are tough. They could kill their own mothers for excuse for their crimes. But in Soviet Union you could be in gulag for having more bread than neighbours...or for just being from poland...

These anti-tank explosives are pretty op

@@altynOnDG very short ranged. if they managed to connect, that is ur fault. i fear conscript with oorah and AT nade combo more

@@juliosunga3530 yeah they're powerful too, but ptrs conscripts, oh boy...

When I play I call them, "my brave dragonslayers", I put them in the offensive accompanied by guards and with some good timing they blow up tanks like kubelwagens.

@@juliosunga3530 or freakin guards that can suppress tanks (i was about to flipover when i noticed that german tank mgs can suppress infantry but then i remembered that soviet infantry can supress tanks"

He didn't tie his boots properly, he's clearly a fascist. Send him to a penal battalion.

Blitzkrieg fucking Conrad, even his russian cousins cant tie his laces

Lmao the whole section is just so damn awkward

I honestly thought they were taking a dump.

Lol they knock it out with hermes bag 💼 of doom

incorrect,40k was based on warhammer fanasty and such,certain sub factions are based on things (Death korps of krieg being germans durning WW1 and partly 2 based as a example) like that but not overall

CoH1's Volksgrenadier sergeant found a new job as a commissar

I think this is exclusive for Minsk map only, because I only heard it once while blowing up a tank on that map.

You can hear this quote when penals destroy a structure, like a bunker.

Comissar squad definitely says that

relic should have changed conscripts to penal squads.........

True: I rather like the way they're depicted in Bolt Action: inexperienced troops, and you're allowed to downgrade the squad to include men with no rifles, or make them Shirkers (which gives them a chance of failing to follow orders even if they're not currently under fire or otherwise suppressed).

@Aleksa Petrovic Penal spam is viable for 3x3 or 4x4 games where slower start doesn't mean that much. And having a blob of them can oneshot even Konigstiger, should they manage to get closer to place deadly satchel charges.

Their design is generally pretty ridiculous. Cannon fodder troops whose only purpose is to catch a bullet in someone else’s stead? Let’s give them elite semi-auto rifles, to each trooper in the squad! And satchel charges! “They are not real soldiers, but they will do just as good as special forces!”

SirYorange Thing is the penal battalions did not consist only of prisoners, in many cases deserters and officers who retreated without permission were in penal battalions. For example the first ever penal battalion consisted exclusively of disgraced officers. And their jobs were pretty dangerous, so why not give them good equipment and make use of them.

Souls games be like.

Penal troops were actually fairly well armed, anyone sentenced to fight in them got to keep whatever they came with

All the Guards units in the game have SVTs tho?

It's conscript quote. From my experience :/

Jiraphat L. not only. Also penals had it

only shocktroops say this

All unit mod bro

Dont know about that but will this shit ever end is from volk or german engi

Good day sir

Peanut Troops

Yes sir yes sir fuck off sir

You probably hear this alot from Russian soldiers & Wagner Group mercenaries in Ukraine.

26 million is not combat losses, it is combat + civilian losses

Rogal Dorn agreed but that then makes it worse as they lost both soldiers and civilians

I hope you actually know that no member of the penal battalions survived. Even if they completed their job, they were killed regardless. The Soviets were cruel, the Nazis were bad yes, but the Soviets were worse. Communism is the ultimate evil. Communism has killed more then Nazis ever will.

@@Smash-gm8dl The Nazis killed their civilians

Everyone deserve the chance at Redemption

так тебе историю преподавали? лицорука.

They are more powerfull

To be fair, these are penal battalions (distinct from companies) which were composed entirely of disgraced officers.

Penals bully the hell out of Volks and pgrens, iirc in OKW only Obers and Fallschirmjäger can beat them 1:1, while Ostheer has to rely on pgrens. And back when they get flamethrowers instead of PTRS, they ate every non-doctrine infantry Axis had.

I spent most of my time playing Wikinger's mod far i know Ostheer's pzgren are generally BiS but that mod did OKW dirty mainly they're pzgren are terrible even soviets's penal and conscripts are better somewhat penals mainly once vet 3 can become a fallschirmjager but better even the guards are also op able to use thompson and m9 bazooka just makes german tanks like swiss cheese
