&quot;Freikorps Danmark&quot; soldier nicknamed Balbo and his skull which he called Stroganoff is from a Russian officer. Balbo used to put Stroganoff outside of his bunker so that the Russians fired after the skull instead of him. Notice the Svt40 the soldier holds on the left, which he took from a Russian soldier as a souvenir.
