Unpublished German photographs of the war in Russia "Horror of War", graphic. The video show the horrors of histories worst catastrophe. One item that surprised me was the numerous photos taken by the Germans of Soviet villagers they massacred.
Russian general Zhukov was quoted as saying the land between Moscow and Berlin was a wasteland.
