    I was browsing the SA-kuva archives and I stumbled upon this photo. This very young soldier sure was lucky.

    Russian soldier used body armor for his life’s protection. His life was saved and he was captured as a prisoner.

    Terrain of Syskyjärvi, 1944.07.15.

    Are the bullet marks before or after he was captured?

    That's what I was thinking Gunny. Most likely hit by a spray of a submachine gun?

    I remember seeing a photo of a SN-42 body armor with bullet marks before. Here's one that's located in the Mikkeli Infantry Museum.
