Biography
The 3rd Shock Army was a field division in the Red Army. Its main function, like the main function of other shock armies, was to engage and decimate large groups of enemy forces with men, armoredvehicles, and artillery. During its early beginnings, the 3rd Shock Army was poorly equipped and received little supplies, soldiers would go without two full meals in one day. However, the Army was able to take town after town during the Moscow counteroffensive. They foraged the towns they raided equipping themselves with captured German arms and food left behind by the former inhabitants. Offensive after offensive, battle after battle the 3rd Shock Army rose the victor. They went on to engage the Wehrmacht and Volkssturm in the Battle ofBerlin.

Biography
The French Foreign Legion is a unique military unit in the French Army established in 1831. The legion was specifically created for foreign nationals wishing to serve in the French Armed Forces. Commanded by French officers, it is also open to French citizens, who amounted to 24% of the recruits as of 2007.

The Legion is today known as an elite military unit whose training focuses not only on traditional military skills but also on its strong esprit de corps. As its men come from different countries with different cultures, this is a widely accepted solution to strengthen them enough to work as a team. Consequently, training is often described as not only physically challenging, but also extremely stressful psychologically.
