During the Great Patriotic War against the Germans from 1941 to 1945, the Soviet Union mobilized all of its resources to defend the Motherland. Over 34 million people bore arms during the four years of the conflict, including women, old men, and youngsters. It is estimated that thousands of children under the age of 16 years old fought in the ranks of the Red Army. One of them was Sergei “Seryozha” Aleshkov, the youngest soldier of World War Two.

    I understand the joke but I just want to say this for the sake of history and to give these children attention as well. During the U.S Civil War there was between 250,000 and 420,000 males (both sides combined) thag were under the age of 18 who got involved in the conflict. Including It's estimated that around 100,000 Union soldiers were 15 years or younger. The youngest soldier in the entire conflict would be "Edward Black" who was only 8 years old. He would also be considered the youngest casualty (wounded). The youngest soldier killed during the conflict would be "Charles Edwin" who would be hit by an enemy shell during the battle of Antietam. He died from his wounds 3 days later at the age 13. Keep in mind that a musician was also considered a soldier. There was 80,000 - 100,000 Musicians in the war. But it is not guaranteed that these numbers were mostly those under 18, among these musicians were also grown men. Majority of these minors weren't forced but rather volunteers due to the mind set of "Adventure, Fun, and Glory" The youngest noncommissioned officer would be "Johnny Clem" who became a sergeant at the age of 13 after he shot a Confederate Colonel. Also keep in mind that many minors would lie about their age meaning a minor who claims to be 18 but was really let's say...16 could've taken that secret to his grave when killed.

    The youngest soldier of the Polish Army was Stefan Wesołowski (9) and he came from a noble family. He knew his ancestors' duty and took an active part in many fights. He was not a mascot, but a regular soldier. I'm not proud of it, because we should protect the children, but there were times when every "neighbor" wanted to slaughter us, so praise for the heroism of the youngest. I remember him because he died in the year I was born in 1987.

    If that story is impressive enough then have a look at Alexander Alexandrovich "San Sanych" Kolesnikov. He became a son of the regiment at 12, but he actually hang a lot with the recon troop becoming a recon-sabateur himself. Ended up highly decorated (even by adult standards) and severely wounded a few times. His story is depicted in the film "Это было в разведке" (or "that happened in the reconnaissance"). There was a quite strong scene in the film when he came to the mess hall with all his awards at his chest making the elder soldiers who had ridiculed him earlier feel really awkward.

    Kid soldiers are more ruthless, there’s plenty of them it’s not a uncommon thing In certain parts of the world, and back then they had honor and actually took responsibility instead of playing victim, kids or teens would run away from home in the civil war or to fight in ww1 and ww2 or lie about age, they didn’t care they just needed man power

    They fought for their survival against the war machine of the third reich, they had no choice but to fight against the nazis as if they won, they would have exterminated us, and the possibility of their victory was actually not that small, at least in 1941/42. It makes sense that every one had to be involved and at that time no one was joking, Stalin’s order to fully mobilise makes sense and is justified

    Here is a clarification, children couldn't be conscripted in the red army. These were often orphans who joined on their own will. They often were given the role of distributing munition and few ever touched a gun. The uniforms were often resized by custom tailors to fit the child or teen. Their age would often be exagerated in documents.

    A lot of Soviet units had such children in their roster, so called battalion's sons/daughters. Most of them was orphaned and had no one to take care of them. Sergei was one of the youngest, that's why his story is relatively known. As strange as it may sound, children provided soldiers with emotional anchors amidst the carnage they were experiencing every day.
