The motif from National Socialist propaganda shows the transport of rations and ammunition to the positions of the German Wehrmacht in the Forest Carpathians on the Eastern Front, taken in October 1944. The National Socialist reporting writes on the back of the picture on 12.10.1944: "To the battle in the Forest Carpathians. In order to gain important passes in the Forest Carpathians, the Soviets are constantly making stronger attacks, which, however, are repeatedly beaten off by our soldiers. - Difficult is the ascent, through which ammunition and rations must be brought to the positions. Men and pack animals have 600 meters of altitude behind them when they reach the high alpine pastures and weather trees." Photo: Fotoarchiv fuer Zeitgeschichte/Archiv - [automated translation]
