User blog:LB&SCR/Viktor Reznov vs. Sgt. Rock



The conflict known as World War II is the most destructive war in known human history. It has been the setting for movies, books, video games, and many other things I can't think of. In the one corner, we have Viktor Reznov, the Soviet Sergeant (and later Captain) who led his men through the bloody battlefields of the Eastern Front, proving time and time again that the German War Machine was not invincible. But, in the other corner, we have Sergeant Rock, the rough-and-tumble Sergeant of DC Comic's Easy Company, a man who plowed through and took part in every single major action in Western Front Europe. When the bullets fly, which World War II tough-guy will emerge as the Deadliest Warrior!

Viktor Reznov




Sergeant Viktor Reznov was the commander of the Red Army's 3rd Shock Army during World War II, and one of the Soviet Union's greatest war heroes. He was sent to Stalingrad to assassinate Heinrich Amsel, an SS officer responsible for thousands of Russian deaths, but he was trapped in a massacre by German soldiers. Playing dead, Reznov met the only other survivor of the massacre, Dmitri Petrenko, who he befriended. Together, the two succeeded in killing Amsel. Reznov and Dimitri would go on to be part of the Red Army's assault on Germany itself, eventually taking Berlin, laying siege to the Reichstag, and ending the war.

After the serving in Berlin, Reznov is transferred, along with his close comrade Dimitri Petrenko to the Arctic Circle to acquire a chemical weapon developed by Nazi-German scientists called Nova-6. He is later betrayed and detained by his commanding officers and witnesses Petrenko being exposed to Nova-6. He escapes but destroys the chemical, hoping to rid of existence. However, he is subsequently incarcerated in the Vorkuta Gulag for going against the government's orders. He along with an American prisoner, Alex Mason, escape. During the escape attempt, Reznov sacrifices his chance of freedom and bestows it to Mason. The former Red Army sergeant was executed.
