Two shirtless soldiers clean their bolt action rifles during a lull in the fighting. On a number of sectors of the front the Wehrmacht managed to contain their Soviet foe and built strong fortified positions. While many of the positions were not strong enough to hold back heavy Russian attacks, they were able to dispel weaker attacks for appreciable lengths of time.

One of the most important forms of defensive action in any battle was communication from the front lines to the command post. Here in this photograph a radio man can be seen with his radio set communicating to one of the many field posts scattered in the rear.
