death march of millions

1941

Lines of Soviet prisoners, both POWS and civilians, trudge along a dirt road. Only a handful of German guards are required to patrol the seemingly endless line of men, as they had nowhere to flee. Most would find themselves in a vast empty field encircled with barbed wire and left without food or water. Some 3 million Soviet POWS starved to death.
