(International) Guess the Location (see rules post 1)

Okay, by the way my comments were about the Orel (Oryol) picture and I hadn't seen the new post when I posted, it came on line just before my post, so comments were not about the Santiago picture in case you thought they were. As for Orel being Oryol, that is new to me, I always knew the place as Orel from my history and geography studies half a century ago anyway, I suppose it's a more phonetic spelling they have now. The Kursk salient was probably the real Stalingrad event of the war, up until then the outcome of the war in Russia was not really settled despite the reversals at Stalingrad earlier. The losses and the resetting of the battle lines combined to seal the fate of Hitler's eastern armies which were then steadily in retreat afterwards.
