Ambush for sure. They never even had time to brake ranks for cover, and were hit and died in line ! Tom -
What a sad picture, really shows the horror of war.

at this time in the war it was a fight to the death. I am sure the soviets lost twice as many men to achieve Stalin's objectivesComment

My time in Vietnam I never fought in a city, but we NEVER grouped up and always spread out so this type of ambush was difficult. TomComment

yes you would have thought sending a couple at a time with supporting fire would have been the way to go. Maybe inexperienced/poorly led? regards graemeComment
