Italian leutnant of Pasubio division with some SS of Wiking, late summer 1941.

"The 3rd Armored Corp has succeeded in recent days by fierce battles of attack and defense, to repel an enemy numerically superior by a very wide area in a bridgehead to the south-west of Dnjepropetrowsk .... The prerequisite for the rapid advance was made ​​by the Wiking SS Division and the Italian division Pasubio, which, despite the unfavorable conditions of the command, and in part by the unfavorable situation of the fuel, overcame all the difficulties with really satisfying speed".

August 21st 1941, Gen. Von Mackensen

&quot;A double exposure which had not been intended. Finnish machine gunner and military cemetery Uspenskaya. If you think about it the picture is good; the more you think about it the better it gets. Nevertheless, the gunner is still alive!&quot;
