This motif from National Socialist propaganda shows soldiers of the German Wehrmacht in defensive combat in Mitau (Jelgava in Latvia) on the Eastern Front, taken in August 1944. On the back of the picture, the National Socialist news coverage writes: "Mitau battle area. Light infantry guns are brought over the rubble of a bridge, a hard job, but it is mastered."
