Supply Handling Point Gostilizy (Winter 1941–42)
Supply transfer point in Gostilizy, winter 1941–42. Inadvertently labeled "Gostinizy" by Gruber. Gruber appears to have had a great deal of free time during that winter; this is the only way to explain the many views of Gostilizy.
Contrary to the original label “Gostinizy” applied by Lothar Gruber, the location is to be identified as Gostilizy. The image depicts logistics operations under extreme conditions: at -52°C, the handling of supplies became an arduous physical struggle. The relative calm Gruber was able to capture was the direct result of the biting cold, which brought combat operations on both sides to a virtual standstill.
