Somewhere in Russia, perhaps on the way to the Don front, Dr. Petrassy and a colleague are roasting meat or bacon at a campfire.

Frontline Doctors' Picnic (Hungary)

Dr. Petrassy and his unit set up an improvised ambulance service on the wintertime Don front in Russia by using horse-drawn covered sleds.

Hungarian Winter Ambulance Service, 1942-43

Dr. Petrassy was sent to the Don front as a field surgeon serving with the Second Army. Standing in front of a troop train, the good doctor is being bid farewell, probably in the presence of his wife, from the city of Miskolc in the summer of 1942. Dr. Petrassy managed to survive the war, returned to medical practice in Hungary, just to be generally hassled by the Communist regime.
