Sorry for the photo quality
Hier beginnt der Arsch der Welt !
Photo from the Battel of Demjansk
Kesselschlacht von Demjansk
Translated - The ass of the world begins here. What kind of vehicle is that in the photo? Looks like a GAZ Russian Jeep maybe? NH
Hi Neil, There are a serious of photos showing them salvaging parts from all types of wrecks, from which they built their own vehicle. I am trying to improve the quality so I can post on this forum.
Regards,
Grant.
Signs showing Hier beginnt der Arsch der Welt were common in the area of Army Group North particulary around the Wolchow front , deep forests , swamps , mud , water , mosquitos , ticks !!! The arse of the world indeed !!

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
