Cutline for one photograph:
“Dive bombers attack Teriaeva monastery north-west of Moscow, which was turned by Bolsheviks into the fortress.”
Shades of Monte Cassino.

Tomorrow is an historic day
On June 22, 1941, Adolph Hitler lost his war.
On that second day of that summer, Nazi forces invaded the Communist Soviet Union. More than 3 million German soldiers and airmen, -- with 3,000 tanks, 2,500 aircraft, 3,000 pieces of artillery, and 750,000 horses – crossed into steppe and forest, and the world has not been the same since.
