I don't think that is it. She just puts two and two together

If it's any comfort, the woman who has been gang-raped isn't Glasha, although Florya momentarily imagines it's her. The victim is actually the woman who jumped out of the barn window with her child, only to be dragged off by the hair and thrown into the back of the Germans' truck (where, presumably, the assault took place).
I would probably have found Glasha seeing the villagers' bodies the most disturbing bit, were it not for the fact that I'd already seen it in Mark Cousins' documentary 'The Story of Film'. So I knew that bit was coming.
But the 'which bit was most disturbing?' game is a bit pointless. The entire film is disturbing - that's the point. -

Everything everyone has mentioned and also the first foreshadowing of the horrors to come when Flor accidentally steps on some eggs on the ground, and looks back to see bugs crawling on the stomped feathers.

Beside the barn burning and the nazi soldier trowing the baby, the partisan sticking the finger in the ass of the poor slow loris of the captured nazi commander. Pet animals are completely innocents of what human owners do, and I can figure it had a sad ending

The entire church fire scene was horrifying, especially seeing all the different weapons that were used to kill or maim the civilians. I would think that with all the machine gun fire that was used by those Nazi soldiers, most of the people inside the church were already dead by the time the church was blowtorched. And all of the sounds during that scene, especially the bloodcurdling screams were just too much to take. I actually had difficulty sleeping the night I saw the film.

It lasts only for a second, but to me the most disturbing scene is when Florya and Glasha run towards the swamp, she turns her head, sees a pile of dead bodies and then a death knell sounds. I thought that was creepy as hell.

The scene where Florya returns to his village and we see a quick glance of a pile of dead bodies. No scene in any movie has ever had such an impact on me. I had to pause the movie and just process what had happened for a minute.
