Evacuated wounded soldiers. Savonlinna, 2 January 1940.

Evacuated

Mass grave at Drohobycz, waiting to be filled.  The Drohobycz ghetto and labour camp were the scenes for a number of "deportations" and mass shootings of varying scale, exercised by German security forces, between 1941.  Jews in the ghetto/camp initially thought that they were relatively safe, as their labour was employed in the essential oil industry.  However, in the end, almost all were shot in "special operations" or deported for murder elsewhere.  JR. 

Ordinary people.

No automation in the field: German machine gunners had to prepare their own cartridge belts like the ones above. The more ready belts the better when your weapon spews out 600-700 rounds a minute.
