Trench to the position in front of Kolpino, August 1942
Before the October Revolution, the beautiful, wooded surroundings of St. Petersburg were a popular summer retreat for the city's wealthy citizens, who had country houses built there. One such stately wooden summer house can be seen in the background. The former owners of this idyllic spot could never have imagined that a protective trench would one day be dug right in front of their garden.
