Note(s)

  • Technical notes: Probably a one-sided record of the Großdeutschen Rundfunk. Same report as RG-91.0020, but this is in Ukrainian, is shorter, and contains distorted sound. The Battle of Narva was a military campaign between the German Army Detachment "Narwa" and the Soviet Leningrad Front fought for possession of the strategically important Narva Isthmus [Estonia] on 2 February – 10 August 1944 during World War II.
