Gostilizy in the winter of 1941–42
View of Gostilizy in the winter of 1941/42.
The first winter of the war in the Leningrad region—historically known as Ingria—posed extreme challenges for the troops: unexpected temperatures as low as -52°C brought combat operations on both sides to a near-total standstill. The photograph gostilizy--winter-41-42--01.webp illustrates how both men and equipment had to fight for daily survival amidst this hostile cold, while the snow-covered landscape of Ingria lay frozen in a deceptive silence.
