Surrounded by morning fog spectators watch the mock battles between Soviet and Nazi forces during a ceremony to mark the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow, on the 75th anniversary of Germany’s attack on the Soviet Union in World War II in the Brest Fortress memorial, 360 kilometers (225 miles) southwest of Minsk, Belarus, early Wednesday, June 22, 2016. The garrison of the 19-century fortress was encircled hours after the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, but the Brest fortress’ Soviet defenders held out for 28 days.
