Memorial to the Motorists
(ZIS 6, BM-13 "Katyusha")

Scale : 1:?
Author : Ing. Ladislav Jakubčo, BaJ
Source : Papierové modely, vystrihovačky (Perfekt)



This memorial is dedicated to the Soviet motorists who fell in the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945). It is located in Krivoy Rog in Ukraine.
It's another addition to my series of memorials ... I chose this memorial because I had enough photos from different angles, so I could make a suitable pedestal anyway ...
The "Katyusha" model is from the red book of cut-outs by Mr. Jakubčo. I did not modify the model, I just cut the "air" and changed the color of the windows according to the real model. I made the pedestal according to the photos, I shortened it a bit in the front part, because it's quite big like this ... At first I thought it was a simple model, but this is not quite true, I struggled a lot with it .. .it is not perfectly glued, but at least I managed to finish it...

The assassination of Heydrich was a successful diversionary action of Operation Anthropoid paratroopers of the exiled Czechoslovak armed forces during the Second World War, the target of the assassination was a prominent Nazi, representing the Reich Protector and head of the RSHA Reinhard Heydrich. The assassination was carried out on May 27, 1942 in Prague-Libno by Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš, who were specially trained for this task in Great Britain.
Retaliatory repressive actions, including the annihilation of the villages of Lidice and Ležáky and the execution of many people, are collectively called the heydrichiad.
The extermination of Lidice (June 9 and 10. 1942) was a violent historical event in which the central Bohemian village of Lidice was destroyed and a significant part of its inhabitants were murdered by German Nazi occupiers. After the successful assassination of Reinhard Heydrich by Czechoslovak paratroopers in 1942, the village of Lidice was burned down and completely razed to the ground as a result of the heydrichiad, and the entire local population was executed or sent to concentration camps. The total number of victims reached 340 (192 men, 60 women and 88 children). The event is commemorated today by the Lidice Memorial and Museum.

When creating the foundations, I used the available photos from the Lidice Memorial.
