Scorched Earth, Northern Front, Murmansk, Soviet Union 1941 Variant 3 with manipulated skies J. Chaldej about this photo: 'Hitler had said: 'Murmansk must be taken. ' He wanted to prevent the British from supporting the Soviet Union. Murmansk was bombed for a year. On June 22, 1942, Hitler gave the order to burn Murmansk down for good. The city consisted primarily of wooden houses. 350, 000 incendiary bombs were dropped for a day. I discovered the old woman with her suitcase after one of the bombings in 1941. She saw that I had a camera, put down the suitcase and said: 'Aren't you ashamed to record our misfortune? '
