A tank crosses a snowfield beyond barbed wire

Two posts strung with barbed wire stand at the front of a flat, snow-covered field; beyond, a tank drives across the white plain towards a line of trees, and at the upper left a dark cloud from a shell burst hangs in the grey sky. The source describes Russian troops advancing through snow. In November 1942 the Red Army encircled the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad, and its winter offensive went on into 1943.
