Full transcript of voiceover:
"In March 1945, Esther was on her way to Berlin with the 5th division of the Russian Army and her Polish Army unit. Along the way, they came to the site of an earlier battle, where Russian soldiers had killed and then hung German officers from trees along the road. Esther said that every tree had a soldier.

"Esther was a great admirer of the Russian women soldiers who had enormous courage and impressive strength and skill—they could change a truck tire, for example, my mother would say. Here, she includes one such soldier standing in the road, holding a flag to point the trucks in the direction of Berlin."
