Is there any record of the USSR encouraging child warfare against Hitler's armies in WW2 by enlisting 7-10 year old kids in the Red Army?

    No that would be a myth, 7 to 10 year olds would be a hindrance in the Army, not a help, Hitler on the other hand sent 14 year olds from hitlers youth to the front in 1945 neat the end of the war, i wouldn't be surprised if younger ones were involved as well

    .My ex mother inlaw was German and during the war the SS came to get her 16 year old brother from the farm to force him into the army, his mother said no he's the only male on the farm and they need him, he also refused so they took him out the front and shot him.
