[Bayda]

"At 9.30 I stand on the highest place to the right of road and I study Mariupol lying in several kilometers. To a city conducts direct as a highway arrow..."
"On hours of 9 hours of 45 minutes. The first shells of the Russian battery are broken off in dangerous affinity from us, and the vanguard starts moving. The artillery and the 8,8-sm battery зениток suppress fire of the Soviet artillery....."
(Kurt "Panzer" Mayer. Revelations of tank general СС)

Now it already the City.

Amazing to see that the whole structure of the city visable in the old pics did not really change that much - if at all, looks like a time capsule.
