German troops who are clearly unhappy being photographed as they move a wounded comrade. This is late July and causalities from Soviet snipers were starting to take a toll on the frustrated Germans. Photo was probably taken by one of Goebbel's propaganda companies which accompanied certain units.

Thanks, Larry. Great stuff as usual.

In the past I had the vague idea that Barbarossa was a sort of pell-mell romp for the Germans in the early months and only became a painful ordeal when the weather began to change. I have seen the error of my ways.
