Sacrificed by Der Fuhrer

Captured German at Stalingrad This German taken prisoner at Stalingrad presents a pitiable picture. Under the greatcoat is stuffed old newspapers or straw to improve insulation while over his leather boots he has a pair of straw overboots which were normally issude to sentries who remained mnosttly stationary, since it was almost impossible to move rapidly when wearing them. texag57
