Fascist Italian Army officers (left) and a German Wehrmacht Gebirgsjäger (alpine soldier, right) officer stand in front of the battle-scarred Russian Orthodox Church of the Holy Virgin in the town of Staromykhailivka as inquisitive local children look on from behind. Staromykhailivka and the surrounding region would become part of Reichskommissariat Ukraine in September 1941; a German civilian administration created for the pacification of the region and the exploitation of its resources and people for German benefit. Staromykhailivka, Stalino Oblast (now, Donetsk Oblast), Ukraine, Soviet Union. October 1941.
