Soviets did it in Odessa, Sevastopol, and would have done so again in Murmansk with NATO came closer to them during their offensive.

I'm working on a history of the Norwegian-Kola campaign and have done exactly that. Division Polyarnyy is rushed to the front, composed of whatever excess naval personnel that could be found ashore in Severomorsk and Murmansk, to stop the NATO advance, especially since the east shore of the Litsa Fjord is a major series of submarine bases.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
