BATTLE OF THE DNIEPER

Post by aukepalmhof » Wed Nov 25, 2020 8:25 pm

Russia issued in 2018 one stamp for the Battle of the Dnieper. The stamp shows in the right background a raft and a rowboat used during the crossing of the river.

The crossing of the Dnieper was extremely difficult. Soldiers used every available floating device to cross the river, under heavy German fire and taking heavy losses. Once across, Soviet troops had to dig themselves into the clay ravines composing the Dnieper's western bank.
