Скачать или смотреть Why Germans Started Calling Katyusha Rockets Stalin's Organs — And Fled At The Sound

On June 22, 1941, Wehrmacht soldiers at Orsha railway junction heard a sound they would never forget — a rising, shrieking wail that turned the sky into hell itself. The BM-13 Katyusha rocket launcher had arrived on the Eastern Front, and with it came a weapon that killed as much through terror as through explosive force.
This is the story of how Soviet engineers weaponized sound itself, creating a psychological instrument of war that German soldiers came to fear more than conventional artillery. The nickname "Stalinorgel" — Stalin's Organ — emerged not from propaganda but from frontline soldiers desperately trying to describe an auditory nightmare that shattered unit cohesion before a single rocket struck home.
Discover the acoustic science behind the terror, the industrial philosophy that produced twelve million rockets, and the documented cases of veteran Wehrmacht units breaking and fleeing at the sound alone. This is the hidden history of how a relatively crude weapon system achieved strategic impact far beyond its destructive capacity through the systematic exploitation of human fear.
From the first barrage at Orsha to the final bombardment of Berlin, witness how the Katyusha rocket became the audio signature of Soviet industrial might — and why German soldiers ran from a sound that meant the end of their world.
