This whole event has a flavor of absurdity to it; even with these soldiers moving about Rostov, you still have public servants doing their work and civilians milling about as though it were a spectacle: observe.

We'll probably know more once the weekend has passed.

This sort of thing always seems to come with that air of absurdity. Maybe that particular absurdity is normal. When the Japs marched into Manila, city services (garbage, cleaners, city police) were all on duty, and the population was out rubbernecking.

I am working on my great-uncles wartime memoirs.
