Is it appropriate to pretend that the title of a scholarly article, rather than, say, a blog post, is something other than what it actually is? I understand the point of badpun (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17489430 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17489430 )'s helpful suggestion, but this is a scholarly work—viz.,
> This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in JOURNAL OF SLAVIC MILITARY STUDIES Volume 30 Issue 2 on 27th April 2017
—where one can expect that the choice of language is careful and significant, and it's called "The Influence of Railways on Military Operations in the Russo-German War 1941–1945", not what the current headline says it's called (Influence of Railways on Military Operations in the Soviet-German War 1941-45).
(With that said, let me be the first top-level thread to comment on something other than the title. I haven't read the article yet, but it's a fascinating topic and I look forward to doing so!)
