Taken in July 1943, it depicts German prisoners of war being captured by Soviet forces during the intense offensive north of Orel, Russia. The image serves as a stark reminder of the brutal realities faced by both sides in this devastating conflict. In this scene, we witness the aftermath of a fierce battle as defeated German soldiers are escorted away by their Soviet captors.
