Moscow seizes the opportunity on the 20th anniversary of the downfall of Hitler to display her military strength. Not in years has Russia mounted such a calculated propaganda display - and on the same day shot a rocket to the moon for a "soft" landing. A military parade, Russian Field Marshal Zhukovoff and Brezhnev. Russian citizens applauding. MS - Trucks hauling missiles. Huge semi trucks hauling extremely large missiles. Army tanks with missiles mounted to the tops of the tanks.
