State ID
Name: Ivar Andersson
DOB: June 6th, 1921
Nationality: Swedish
Hair color: Black
Eye color: Blue
Height: 1.85 cm
Weight: 70 kg

Branch: Infantry
Rank: Sergeant
Backstory: Ivar's family were among the so called "Kiruna Swedes", workers from northern Sweden who migrated to the Soviet Union in the 1920s in search for a better life in what they thought was a more equal society, but in the end all they would meet was oppression, poverty, and death. Ivar was just a little boy when they left Sweden, with his parents and two older sisters. And in the beginning, things weren't so bad, pretty good for them actually, but in the 1930s, that changed. Ivar's father, Anders, a skilled miner and convinced Socialist, had always been very vocal about what he thought, and couldn't tolerate injustice, and made the mistake to openly critcize Stalin. He was arrested and never seen again. It's not clear weather he's in prison, Gulag, or already executed. Ivar's mother was of course heartbroken and never really herself afterwards, but was lucky in a way to not get arrested as well, since a local leading chekist fancied her, and indeed, after a few years he proposed to her, and void of all resistance, she said yes, even though she didn't love him back. She reasoned that by marrying him, their family would at least have some protection.

Ivar's sisters went to work in the local industry, and he took refuge in the army, even though he already hated the Soviet system and everything in it. However, it was near impossible to get back to Sweden for many practical reasons, and without his family, what would he do in a country he almost didn't remember?

In 1939, he was lucky in a sense that he didn't need to partake in the attempts to restore the borders of 1917 with the attack on Poland, or (in his opinion) worse, Finland, since he by then was part of the force which pushed the Japanese out of Mongolia, a struggle which he could see as just. There, he excelled in battle.

Later, when Hitler broke his pact with Stalin, Ivar would once more fight Fascists, in the Great Patriotic War. A rather funny episode occurred when he had captured an SS-soldier, and just as he was about to shoot him right between the eyes, heard him curse at him in Swedish. It turned out to be a Swedish Waffen-SS volunteer, and they had a rather interesting chat (to say that it was a very nice or friendly one would be to exaggerate, but interesting nonetheless), and Ivar decided to spare him and brought him behind the lines, where the prisoner was then either transported to a POW-camp, or executed by someone else. Not that it really mattered. As much as he hated the Communists, he realized that the Nazis were just as bad. However, he understands why many Soviet citizens choose to become Hiwis, but that doesn't mean he'll spare them when he meet them on the battlefield.

Ivar is quite outspoken, but not as much as his father. This has hindered his promotion. However, as much as he dislikes it, he gets away with much because his stepfather is a respected police officer, so it evens out in a way.

Accepted, I forgot to mention that foreign applications are welcome too such as people from occupied countries can enlist in the red army if their backstory supports such a move. And also, what weapon does he have and what sidearm?

Name: Nikolai "Metsästäjä"
DOB: July 9th, 1918
Nationality: Finnish/Jewish (secretly)
Hair color: Red
Eye color: Green
Height: 5"11'
Weight: 175 lbs

Branch: Sniper/Shock Troops
Rank: Corporal
Weapons: Modified Kar98k (can be equipped with scope), PPSh-41, M1911A1, Bowie Knife, 4x Grenades
Backstory: Nikolai was born in Finland in 1918, only a few months before the First World War would end. During his young life, Nikolai would consistently be trained by his father (who was a veteran of the First World War) in firearms, often going on hunting trips, quickly becoming a natural and expert sharpshooter. At age 17, he would join the Finnish Army, becoming one of her best snipers and soldiers overall, and becoming good friends with one Simo Häyhä. When the Winter War broke out in 1939, Nikolai would fight along Simo, who would often give him tips and additional training out in the field. There, Nikolai would almost be on par with Simo in terms of skill, killing many Soviet Soldiers. However, during the last month of the war, Nikolai would be captured by the Soviets and held in a gulag in the East, where he would suffer and see the true barbarity of the Communist Regime. That would end in 1941 with the German invasion of the Soviet Union, where Nikolai would be conscripted into the Red Army. Stuck in the Red Army and unable to desert to the Germans because of the risk of his secret Jewish heritage, Nikolai (using the Finnish word for Hunter as his last name instead of his real one, to keep his family safe) would use his skill to the fullest, achieving the rank of Corporal and being heralded as one of the Red Army's best Snipers. Now assigned in this front of the war, he thinks of what's different now.

So, would it be possible, or not, if i could have something like a m1 garand in the red army. Second are we limited to just infantry men or could we be a part of say a tank crew or mortar team.

Name: Leonid Voloshyn
DOB: 15th of April 1926, Odessa (Ukraine)
Nationality: Russian/Ukrainian
Hair color: Dark brown
Eye color: hazel
Height: 1.83m
Weight: 67kg

Branch: Support gunner / Automatic rifleman in a motorized rifle brigade
Rank: Corporal (Yefreytor)
Equipment: Degtyaryov '27, 1x RPG-43 anti-tank grenade, 1x RGD-33 grenade, Spade.
Backstory: Voloshyn was born in the Ukrainian city of Odessa. His parents were Mikhail Sokolov and Kateryna Sokolov née Voloshyn. His father Mikhail was a member of the communist party, and was influential enough to be sent to Odessa, Ukraine, to strengthen the Soviet regime there. Leonid was indoctrinated with Soviet propaganda from an early age, and strongly believed in the regime. His father supported the Holodomor in his administrative work in Odessa, and had to flee the unruly city in Western Ukraine. Leonid's family settled in Leningrad, where Mikhail continued working for the regime until his death in 1934. Voloshyn had been taught about his homeland of Ukraine ever since he was a little boy. His mum was Ukrainian, so she talked to him about the long plainlands that made up the heartland of Europe, and about Ukraine's past. Leonid became fluent in both Ukrainian and Russian, and when the Germans invaded in 1941, he offered his services to the government that employed his father. Voloshyn was promoted to the rank of corporal very quickly, because he was the son of a somewhat respected official, ideologically on-par with the soviet regime, ambitious and a natural in his work. Leonid "Voloshyn" Sokolov adapted his mother's maiden name because of his ancestral ties to his homeland of Ukraine, and the Soviet army assigned him to a pro-Soviet Ukrainian unit, so that he could win over the hearts of his men, who were sometimes skeptical about the Soviet regime, and so that his qualities could be tested on the field. He and his motorized rifle unit did very well, and were then hand-picked to serve in the battle of Servograd, so that propaganda could tell the Ukrainian people that their soldiers had won a great victory.

Sure. You can be limited air support but I doubt you'd have much fun as it involves zombies attacking from the shadows/etc. But it'll come to open zombie combat pretty soon as well as traditional WWII combat.
