What happens when an army stretches from ordinary soldiers to Stalin himself? ⚔️⭐

The Soviet Red Army during World War II built one of the most elaborate rank systems in history.

In 1943, sweeping reforms introduced new uniforms, shoulder boards, and a standardized system of ranks. From the lowest privates to the rare title of Generalissimus, each step in the hierarchy carried unique responsibilities, authority, and insignia.

This video breaks down every rank in order, showing how the Red Army organized millions of men during the largest conflict the world had ever seen.

In this history explainer, you’ll uncover:

👤 Ryadovoy — The Red Army Man, foundation of every Soviet unit
🎖️ NCOs — Junior leaders who held squads together under fire
🪖 Lieutenants to Captains — Officers commanding platoons and companies
📏 Majors, Lieutenant Colonels, Colonels — Senior officers bridging to generals
⭐ Major General to General of the Army — Leading divisions, corps, and whole fronts
⚒️ Marshals of Army Units — Artillery, aviation, armor, engineers, and signals
🌿 Chief Marshals of the Branches — Senior leaders with unique wreath insignia
🌟 Marshal of the Soviet Union — The highest wartime military command
