Destroying German graves

A Red Army soldier is busy destroying the graves of German soldiers with his rifle butt, outside Moscow December 1941.

I think this is really grim.
A mark of civilised warfare, in so much as such a concept exists, is respect for the enemy dead.
Although I appreciate the hatred felt by the average Russian soldier for his German enemy their officers should have stepped in to prevent this desecration.
