Spooky image in Stalingrad film

Spooky image, if you pause the film at 4.43 you can see a soldier on the left hand side with his mouth wide open, it's a bit spooky and I can't say I've noticed that before even although it's a very famous clip, almost like he is wearing a mask.

Here is the soldier on the left, initially I though he had suffered some horrific wound or frost bite as his mouth is permanently open in the film for several seconds.

Here is the original Pathe film clip of the surrender and you can see at 6.10 he is simply yawning.  It just goes to show how editing a film even by a second or two can make a situation look totally different. I must have seen that film hundreds of times, mainly because it's in the opening titles of Cross of Iron, but I had never noticed the yawning man before.
