A Heartfelt Cry for Help

A screenshot of a Reddit post from r/AskReddit asking 'What historical fact makes you cry?' showing a highly upvoted comment below. The comment recounts a story from a Dan Carlin podcast about a Red Army soldier during the German-Soviet war who sang nightly, with comrades giving him tea and scarves to protect his larynx. When he fell ill and couldn't sing, a German soldier crossed no-man's-land and tossed a package into the trench, which the Soviets thought was a grenade but was actually a letter asking if he was okay and if he needed medicine. The comment concludes by calling it a 'truly heart-warming moment in an otherwise horrific front.'
