The Retreat From Russia

Italian Alpines retreating, photographed during a moment of rest in a forest. The driving conditions were at the limit of human endurance: the cold was very intense and touching at night, even -40 ° below zero. The equipment was worn down by the sustained fighting and the distance traveled. Everything was made even more difficult by the lack of food. Many soldiers never returned home.
