![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I wondered how it faired in Op Barbarossa, some info here. Slovaks against the Molotov Line (I.) Slovaks against the Molotov Line (II.) Quote:
![]() Gen. Ferdinand Čatloš (at left, far edge of the bunker, in front of the observation bell) and Cpt. Franz Karmasin (right foreground) inspect a light bunker, which was providing cover for a nearby bridge over the river San. The bunker was destroyed by Slovak soldiers. What do you think?
