Feb 13 1944: Soviet Forces attempt to outflank Narva defences with landing at Mereküla; Soviet landing force annihilated. 300 Red Army troops killed on shore, 200 captured, plus an additional 50 found floating upside down in the Baltic. The Red Army assault troops had been wearing specialized rubber trowsers for the landing. Air trapped inside the pants flipped the unlucky soldiers upside down in the water, drowning them. Like some grotesque forest, their legs stick up straight, gently waving with the ocean swells.
