Wood planked revetments, Finland/Russia: Winter War/Eastern Front/Continuation War, 1940-1944. 337mm(W) x 225mm(H) 13 inches x 9 inches(H)
Life during the war on the Eastern Front was primitive to say the least. Many roads were little more than dirt tracks, which, although fine for travel during the hot summer months, became nigh impassable during the spring and autumn periods known as the Rasputitsa, or more commonly to the Russians as General Mud. Prior to the harsh winter freezes, heavy rain would turn these roads into morasses of thick glutinous mud bogging down both vehicles and men, and this included tracked vehicles. The problem again manifested itself during the spring thaws, when melting snow and ice again made the roads insurmountable. Obviously, trees are plentiful in those areas of the world, and wood planking was commonly used by all sides during the war on the Eastern Front to provide, at least, some form of surface which would prevent aircraft from being bogged down. Quickly laid down, these revetments did not follow a standardised pattern, size, shape or design. Sometimes, they consisted of simple planked hard standings as in this set, or more elaborate affairs with earthen banks built around two or three sides to give some protection to the aircraft and maintenance personnel in the event of attack.
