EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and chaos of the Eastern Front during World War I, as German stormtroopers advance through a thick cloud of smoke on a battlefield in Romania in 1917. The date marks the height of the Brusilov Offensive, a major Russian counter-attack that took place between June and September of that year. The German troops, dressed in their distinctive white uniforms and helmets, are seen running and advancing through the haze, their faces obscured by the thick smoke produced by the use of smoke bombs. The image conveys a sense of urgency and danger, as the soldiers push forward against an unseen enemy, their determination and discipline on full display. The use of smoke bombs would have been a common tactic during this period of warfare, allowing troops to advance unseen and surprise their opponents. The image is a poignant reminder of the brutal and unrelenting nature of trench warfare on the Eastern Front during World War I.
