1941 - Eastern Front

The first snow in Russia fell on the 12th of September, the German Wehrmacht was doomed. Even Napoleon was defeated by the Russian winter, something the German soldiers and machines were not prepared for.

This was built a couple of months ago and only now have I gotten around to posting it. This is one of my first times using snow in a landscape. In case you are wondering what a horse has to do with WWII, the German army had 650,000 horses, compared to 3,350 tanks on he Eastern Front in 1941, the peak of their power.
