Saporoshje is the German spelling of the city Zaporozhe or
Zaporozhje on the Dnieper, where there is a huge hydro-electric dam.
I'm not sure though what Saporoshje II means.
In the War the Russians sabotaged the dam just before the Germans
captured it. The Germans spent a year or more getting it operational again,
but almost as soon as they had the power plant working, they blew it up
again, because the Russians were about to retake the area. (A relative
of mine was there during the War).
