Description: "Ready for the Russian Rush/The Germans had better arms and better transportation than the Russians in World War I. Their machine guns devastated the masses of Russians rushing at them in attack. By the end of the first winter one Russian in four went into the field without a gun. Here German infantrymen aim their machine guns at the Russians from a trench at the Vistula River in Russia, in 1916."
