I think it was quite natural for boys to draw war scenes, tanks and aeroplanes etc , in our generation, regardless of which country we grew up. It's lovely that your mum kept these pieces .
That watercolor painting shows that history may not repeat itself, but it often rhymes. Somebody could date it as 1943 or 2022, and it would work either way.
Exactly, So either our brains were "polluted with propaganda" too, or its just part of being a little boy. Tanks are extremely cool, as a kid, or an adult imo.
I think drawing tanks is just a part of being a little boy. I was drawing Tigers and Panthers because I saw them on the history channel and they looked cool as hell. I was chastised for drawing the large swastika on the side of a tiger in after school care when I was in like 4th grade so 9 or 10 years old. lol. (in the USA btw)
Tanks were undoubtedly the Strength of the Soviet military. It was the Battles of Khalkhin Gol that Japan found Russian Army was different from Russian Navy The outcome of these battles influenced Japanese military planning in WW2 and they focused on Nanshin-ron , striking towards countries south of Japan
The battles of Khalkhin Gol were a reason for Japan becoming Navy centric as they believed it was Japan's strength just as Tank Warfare were the Soviets' speciality
Not just drawing tanks. Growing up I had model kits of the Sherman, King Tiger, T-34, Thunderbolt, Spitfire, B-17, Bf 109, F-15, F-14, Bismark, and more. When I was a teenager I bought games about WW2. Panzer Blitz, Panzer Leader, Squad Leader, War at Sea, Up Front, Banzai, Third Reich, and more. The game Russian Campaign is a classic. World War Two is the greatest event in human history to date. Ignorance of the history of WW1 and WW2 is... pitiable.
When I was 9, I bought a bag of plastic soldiers and was hiding it from my parents. To prevent getting endless lectures on how terrible war is. 😂 This was not special to my parents. It was the general attitude. No way we would be allowed to draw tanks in school. 1980s, Cold War, West Germany ... Military equipment on the road or rail was present every day. But a positve attitude towards war was a big NO NO.

I don't blame you, tanks are objectively cool. Just one more thing we have in common.

Excellent watercolour! It looks professional to me!
Yeah, that's pretty good.
I love the little Xs on the wheels.
As kids in the US, we'd draw tanks and stick figure infrantry. Just because.

I always remember kids drawing tanks with about 15 machine guns firing out of them.

Your thoughts on the latest Lex Fridman interview?

Japanese found themselves on the receiving end of the traditional Soviet tactics of Meat Wave

Comrade Sergei should make a video reviewing the movie Enemy at the Gates
