A German Wehrmacht Oberstabsfeldwebel (Sergeant-Major) and a non-commissioned Stabsfeldwebel officer (First Sergeant, or Master Sergeant equivalent) battle enemy Soviet troops outside of Stalingrad, just prior to the Battle of Stalingrad. The German offensive to capture Stalingrad began on 23 August 1942, using the German 6th Army and elements of the 4th Panzer Army. The attack was supported by intensive Luftwaffe bombing that reduced much of the city to rubble. The fighting degenerated into pitched house-to-house fighting as both sides poured reinforcements into the city. Near Stalingrad (now, Volgograd), Volgograd Oblast, Russia, Soviet Union. 10 July 1942.

Finnish civilians are evacuated by train to the countryside by authorities away from Soviet bombing targets during the Finnish-Soviet Continuation War. Although by the summer of 1941 the Finns had been victorious in the reconquest of Ladoga Karelia and the Karelian Isthmus, Soviet bombing campaigns were frequent on larger towns and cities within Finland. Vilppula (now, Mänttä-Vilppula), Pirkanmaa, Finland. 23 June 1941.
