Men bring a cart filled with bodies to the Volkovo Cemetery in Leningrad. The civilian population of the city suffered greatly as the Germans and Finns tried to starve Leningrad into submission.
 
A few disconsolate Berliners walk past the ruins of the Reichstag in July 1945.
The Studebaker US6 truck in the background is one of the tens of thousands of such trucks supplied by the US to the Red Army, without which their mobility would have been severely reduced.
Ironically, in the foreground pointing right at the Reichstag, is an 88mm Flak 36, once a part of Berlin's air defences.
