Origins of Polish-Russian War

It may be a good idea to start gathering sources on this important but little known conflict so we can describe it better. Right now the subject is one sided and does not even factor the movements of Polish forces into Ukraine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Centurion216 (talk • contribs) 14:56, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Emphasis on Red Army's contribution to European theatre of World War II in lede

The lede seems to place a lot of emphasis on the Red Army's contribution to the European theatre of World War II, but as this page shows they were involved in numerous conflicts from their inception until their eventual dissolution. I feel like such information would be more appropriate in the section that specifically pertains to the European theatre of World War II, instead of in the lede.

Unofficial Red Army Flag

The article states that a flag with a yellow star on a red background was the unofficial flag, but when checking the source its actually stating that it was a myth with no basis. This implies that it never was an unofficial flag in any sense, and it makes me feel like the article should not include it since it has no historical usage according to the source. 75.235.201.216 (talk) 04:56, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Correct. Removed everywhere. - Altenmann >talk 00:37, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Banner

Unlike marines and air force, Soviet ground forces did not have official banner . Various army units did have their banners, such as the one in the image. - Altenmann >talk 00:36, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
