Orel Winter 1942-43. Watercolor of War Reporter H. Schneider.
What I have uploaded to the forum today was a small work that I did some years ago and some photographs of my private collection.
Recently I found two Russian pages on the internet from which I obtained interesting images (and that contain many others). It is fair that I link them below:

I hope you enjoyed.
Best regards.

Excellent thread
I was watching a documentary about the battles of Orel recently .. fascinating

Great thread! Thanks for posting. I really enjoyed it.
Yes, the Germans occupied Orel for quite some time. Kurt Werner Anders of the 20th Panzer Division wrote (with a tinge of disgust it seems) about stopping in Orel and discovering that numerous Wehrmacht members had filed applications to marry Russian women and that there were 900 illegitimate babies in the city from such liaisons(!)
