SS Totenkopf officers drive to the front in a Volkswagen Kubelwagen Type 82, the German equivalent of a jeep, 1941. Although more comfortable than a jeep, its low centre of gravity meant it struggled with the deep mud in Russia.

The Russian winter took a very heavy toll on the Germans who unlike the Soviets were not equipped with winter clothing. By November 1941, the Germans had suffered 730,000 casualties.

Waffen-SS troops put together a “Panzer cocktail”, an improvised Molotov cocktail used against the Russian T-34 tank. Due to its sloping armour the 3.7cm anti-tank gun proved ineffective against it.
