Recovery of a provision bomb, 1942

German soldiers recover a provisions bomb from the snow-covered fields in Kholm. By continuously dropping such V-bombs loaded with food, material and ammunition the trapped soldiers in the Kholm Pocket got supplies. During the Kholm Pocket, the Kampfgruppe Scherer successfully defended the town for 105 days.
