In Autumn 1943, Part II: the Germans

2012/11/11



Last week we started to show you the photographs from the big reconstruction devoted to the 69th anniversary of Kiev liberation from the fascist conquerers. Now you can see the second portion of the photos from the event.


In autumn 1943 the troops of Wehrmacht, defending Kiev, managed to repel the advance of the Soviet troops twice. Their defence on the right bank of the Dnieper was quite reliable and they still planned to change the course of the fighting and move back to the east.

They didn’t expect the massive attack of the Red Army from the north in November, 3rd, 1943. They were drinking their coffee, taking photos near their guns and were doing morning exercises…

The Germans do not expect to be attacked.




Everything is mined.







It’s the interior of the German dugout.



The chef cooks pea soup with smoked ribs.










These are Italian soldiers.



“Lenin didn’t promise you anyhting!”













More weapons are coming.











Next morning won’t be this calm…






What do we have for breakfast?






The guns are to be cleaned.




Now it’s silent here but tomorrow…
