| In the latter half of October 1918, the flotilla signalmen intercepted several enemy radio messages regarding the situation in the Galyany area on the Kama river. Among the first fruits of this arrangement was the notorious Kama River truck factory, which turned out hundreds of thousands of heavy trucks and truck engines each year--as well as the personnel carriers and other military vehicles used in the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Petersburg, the combines were unloaded from cargo ships (pictured), then loaded on Russian inland waterway vessels and transported on the Volga-Baltijiski canal, the Volga River and the Kama River to Naberezyne Celny. |
