1942: Dalnee Natranovo

A farmer dries hay in the hamlet of Dalnee Natranovo (now known as Petrovo Dalnee) in the summer of 1942.

Dalnee Natranovo is near Kaluga, which is approximately 100 miles southwest of Moscow.

The German Army controlled Dalnee Natranovo in the summer of 1942. Indeed, this rare color photograph, evincing no evidence whatsoever of wartime and occupation, was taken by a German soldier passing through the hamlet.
