Typical condition of front-line roads. A convoy of ZIS-5 3-ton trucks forces its way along a beaten rut through a sea of mud. There is a Soviet ‘Emka’ (GAZ-MI) passenger car in the rear of the first truck. The ‘Emka’ simply couldn't move through such a quagmire. On the rear wheel of the truck in the foreground you can see a chain, which, in principle, slightly increased its cross-country capability.

Soldiers unload ammunition delivered to a rifle unit. Notice the individual trench for prone firing on the right. The photo was taken in the early days of the war, since the man on the cart is wearing the SSh-36 helmet, while the man with the box is wearing the SSh-40 helmet.

The Red Army often used ordinary carts to deliver ammunition to the front line. Judging by the motley appearance of these horse-drawn vehicles, we can presume they were commandeered from civilians (1944).
