This article comes after one a few days ago on "The influence of railways on military operations in the Russo–German war 1941–1945" (the article's title, not mine) (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17486415 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17486415). At the time I thought it was just because the intersection of programmers and railroad enthusiasts is high, but I wonder if it also indicates a hidden cache of WWII / Russian war history buffs? (Anyway, although I run the risk of the usual "it's whatever's interesting to hackers" retort by wondering about the place of this here, I don't complain! I think it's interesting, and certainly hadn't heard about the war.)
