Tens of thousands of soldiers have deserted from Ukraine's army.(msn.com)
Ukraine has to lower the draft age so that troops on the front can get some rest. I wonder how Germany did it during World War II? They were continually pushed back but continued to fight very well. Germany even used child soldiers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqFhvKarYjU&t=141s
Weren't Germany's troops battled-hardened before WWII?
Their generals fought in World War I. I think the difference is that the Germans executed deserters.
I thought they gained experience in other wars like the Spanish Civil War. I guess I need to read up.
You're right but I think it was mainly the Luftwaffe.
