Imprint of the horrors of World War II on nature

The Dhaka Times Desk The world will remember the horrors of World War II for a long time. In a forest in Russia, a weapon used at the time, the helmet, was found stuck to a tree.

Soviet Army historian and World War II re-enactor Alexander Ostapenko recently took some photos from the Neva Bridgehead, also known as Nevsky Prospekt in Russia. From September 1941 to May 1943, fierce military operations took place in the area to capture Leningrad. Evidence of that has emerged in Ostapenko's film.

Some photos show slender trees climbing through Soviet Army helmets. The size and condition suggest that they belong to the Red Army. Each helmet was found damaged. It is not difficult to guess what happened to their owner.

Besides, grenades, rifles, guns, cannons, shovels etc. are stuck in the trees. They were embedded or attached to the tree. Over time, they get stuck in the tree as the tree grows.

The Red Army lost 260,000 soldiers during the war with the Germans. Between 1941 and 1945, 20 million Soviet military civilians died. Among them were 1.4 million soldiers and officers of the military.

In Ostapenko's film, it is evident that the brutality of man has been restrained by nature. Nature, not man, wins in the end.
