A vision after an ambush of a Red Army patrol
"Dead Troops Talk (a vision after an ambush of a Red Army patrol, near Moqor, Afghanistan, winter 1986) " is the title of an artwork that could be viewed here. Does "a vision after an ambush of a Red Army patrol" mean:
1. An image that shows the situation of the Red army troops after they have been massacred
or
2. An image of the trench of the Red Army troops?
I have problem with "after" and "ambush" in this title.

The Red Army patrol was ambushed (suffered a surprise attack). The artist presents a "vision" of what happened after this; in this case "vision" means something that one imagines one sees, but that is not actually real.
