Position of the 7th Company, Neva railway embankment, September 1942.
The soldier shown in the center was a comrade of Gruber’s with whom he had become friends. The label "7th Company" on the photo may be incorrect; the location appears to be the same as in the preceding photos. However, Gruber did not establish a specific sequence by numbering the photographs.
The contrast between the soldiers in the foreground, chatting in a relaxed manner, and the cloud of debris in the sky—resulting from a recent impact nearby—is striking.
