Summary[edit]

Description
English: The devastation caused by an exploded mine. Perched on the edge of a vast crater are the ruined remains of a church. A few soldiers pick through the debris. Apart from a few buildings that have survived the explosion, there is little left to suggest that this was once a village.

Scenes such as this were commonly used as propaganda, intended to reaffirm resolve against the enemy.
