Rest at Lawolosstje, march from Volkhov to Lyuban Aug. 1942
The idyllic landscape of northwestern Russia undoubtedly inspired the decision to capture it in this photograph. It is worth remembering that these soldiers had lost many comrades along the Volkhov. In August 1942, the soldiers surely savored such breaks during the grueling march back to Lyuban, especially since the enemy was far too weakened to disrupt the retreat.
