Russia, inverno 1942. Italiani brava gente. Giuseppe ha vissuto in questa Isba per qualche mese, cucinando e sfamando la Compagnia e chi “ospitava” i soldati italiani: due vecchi coniugi contadini, la loro figlia il cui marito combatteva contro gli italiani e i tedeschi e un cospicuo numero di figli della corpulenta signora russa. Che cosa potesse cucinare oltre alle patate, unico alimento che si trovava in quantità sufficiente, è un mistero ma la fantasia di Giuseppe non aveva limiti. Prima che fosse dato l'ordine di ripiegare verso linee meno esposte alle artiglierie russe, Giuseppe inviò questa fotografia a mia nonna con queste poche parole: Russia. Alla mia cara Mamma con tanto affetto e che sempre ricordo. Peppino. Mescewaja, 7 febbraio 1942.

Beautiful these old documents that also tell of "serene" moments
In a terrible context, of war and of pain.
Compliments! Sergio ;-) :-P

Thanks Sergio,
At a distance of years I rediscovered with emotion a very special moment of my father's life and I considered that old print a precious object.

Gorgeous.
If you have not, I suggest you read one of the most extraordinary books written on the subject. "The sergeant in the snow"
By Mario Rigoni Stern.

Thank you Raffaele for your appreciation.
I read the book you indicated and also all those written by Giulio Bedeschi, Piero Fortuna, Raffaello Uboldi and others. These books should not be considered simple readings of distant facts but documents of history that should be read and commented on in schools to teach ... to teach that sometimes history can unfortunately repeat itself.
Greetings
