19 pictures of the Soviet village, taken by a German photographer in 1941-1943

It is difficult to even imagine what Soviet residents had to go through during the fascist occupation in World War II, how much pain, grief and adversity they experienced. I would like to believe that we will never have to experience anything like this, and we will only be able to transport ourselves during the terrible war remotely, through photographs. So now we suggest you take a look at the pictures from the German archives made by a German photographer in the period from 1941-1943. They depict residents of a Soviet village occupied by enemy soldiers. The shots, although they make a painful impression, are nevertheless very interesting, they allow you to touch the story, see what is happening on behalf of one of the invaders.
