Some Rare Images of the German Army on the Eastern Front: WW2

After the extermination of the once mighty German Army in Russia, any sensible man/woman should have understood the futility of war. War solves nothing.

But unfortunately nations have not really understood this. Otherwise there would not have been the Israel-Palestine issue, the Vietnam War or even the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
