G8987/ A cruiser returning home.
A cruiser has fulfilled its mission. Now they are returning back to port ready for new action in the fight against the world harassers of peace. The cruiser sails into the setting sun of the breaking evening. Straight ahead the sun is disappearing behind the clouds on the horizon. Only traces of rosy colors remain on the assembled clouds on the horizon.

Our photograph shows an important railroad junction on the Smolensk-Moscow line in the last of the multiple attacks from German aircraft. Clearly, the extensive destruction of the rail installation and buildings of the important commerce junction can be seen in the picture. The circle marks signify bomb impacts while the white borderlines point out the destroyed areas.
