The following are Useful Notes. A useful note article is not a trope and is of secondary importance to the wiki, it's just there to support trope and work articles with a bit of breezily imparted background info. We're not a general-purpose wiki. We don't list them in the example trope section. So this info will need to be provided in another way. Some of it probably could be move to the main text. Potholes to Useful Notes in main text are OK.
Brits With Battleships: Starukhin, one of Malinsky’s sub-commanders, has to throw the Third Shock Army at the British sector of the front. It isn’t a fun assignment.
Yanks With Tanks: Surprisingly averted. It is mentioned that the Americans are doing quite well against the armies on the central front (a front the novel doesn’t cover), and an American counterattack shows up late in the day like the bogeymen from a nightmare. On the whole, Peters diplomatically avoids having his Soviet heroes killing his fellow Americans. Instead, they spend the novel killing Brits, Germans and the Dutch instead.
Soviet Russia Ukraine And So On: The Soviet forces employ more than just Russians. There are Ukrainians, Poles, East Germans, a couple of Cossacks, a Jewish staff officer and one poor guy from Somewhereastan who doesn’t speak any Russian.
