Johnie ! Voy Govorete poRusskia Yazika ? If not, on what do you base your assumptions about the STALIN MOTOR WORKS?

Yes, of course we know that the Russians moved MANY (but not all) of their production factories so far east that the Germans did not have the range to get at them.

I personally have NO idea where the ZIS was made during the Second World War - perhaps our German friend would know ?

In any event, Gousha's interesting posts explain and answer my question - with Stalin so determined to "put on a good show", it does not surprise me that bomb damage to the STALIN MOTOR WORKS, if any, ( that's ZIS to you guys who cant translate Russian) was quicly repaired, and thus not visible (or cleverly edited out) of post-war photos .

P.S..Johhnie boy - did you see my answer to your questions (and apparentd dis-belief) on why the late Packard Twelves, which shared SHEET METAL BODY parts with the Super Eights, were much more rugged, NOT INTERCHANGEABLE WITH ANY SUPER EIGHT FRAME, RUNNING GEAR, SUSPENSION, ETC ? Did that answer your questions ?
