6th Army Service

On October 24, 1941, German troops occupied Kharkov, then the capital of the Ukraine. The tall blocks of flats on Red Square showed little signs of damage, despite the fierce battles that raged there before the fall of the city. At about that time  it became known that the Fuhrer was planning a drive on Stalingrad in the direction of the Caucasus. This Krad driver, lost in thought, is blissfully unaware of the Doom that awaits. (scanned by HOS Bandit)
