That lets the Germans know to get out of the way.

And the generator on the wheel to power the headlight.
I had one of those when I was a kid.

I tried using Google Maps to see if I could find the corner he's standing on. I thought maybe he was looking at the Parliament Building but it's not quite the same.

Looking further in to the subject I found out who the number one Russian sniper was....

“Lady Death” of the Red Army: Lyudmila Pavlichenko

In the time she spent fighting, Pavlichenko had obtained a record of 309 confirmed kills. By the time Pavlichenko was withdrawn from front line combat, her reputation as a sniper earned her the nickname “Lady Death.” The German Army knew of her well.
