Rest in peace little ones

Brothers

Russian men and women rescue their humble belongings from their burning homes, said to have been set on fire by the Russians, part of a scorched-earth policy, in a Leningrad suburb on October 21, 1941. 

Scorched-earth policy

Not a burning vehicle - oilfield installations in Dutch South East Asia, one of many burned by Allied troops to prevent them falling intact into the hands of the Imperial Japanese Army, early 1942.  Best regards, JR.
