The Soviet submachine gunners cover up the actions of sappers under the command of Sergeant V. Mozgovoy, who are preparing the house for the explosion, which the enemy has turned into a fortified point.
Sappers are visible in the right window opening, the men crawling to drag boxes of explosives. On the left are the remains of a destroyed barricade.
