Little known photos of the war

“When I, a writer, think about the profession of photojournalists in war, I think about how difficult this profession is. We can write later, we don’t have to write then. We can put something in our notebook, two or three words, and then expand the whole picture out of it, because our memory works. They can not remove later. They can only take off, at that moment, the tank that is attacking them, and the attack that they see. And the calamity they witnessed. The device does not remember, the device removes. Their memory is their pictures. What remains on the tape is their memory of the war. ”Konstantin Simonov.

        there is everything, but some kind of brush was put there to strengthen the effect
        You can argue about a lot, but the scenery from the dead is bestiality

      I know the story of this picture. The author of the picture deliberately put a fragment of a human hand at the furnace door to enhance drama. By the way, he found a hand near the firebox on the floor, but in that place the picture would not work and would not have such tragic brightness and brutal naturalism. And this picture gained worldwide fame and became a documentary confirmation of the cannibalistic essence of fascism.

      I read that the author of the picture found a hand near the crematorium furnace, but in that place the picture would not have been successful, and it would not have such revealing power. Therefore, the photographer placed a fragment of his hand in the opening of the furnace of the crematorium and received the world-famous photo document of the cannibalistic essence of fascism. Whether he acted ethically is a moot point. In my opinion, in that situation it was a justified act. His goal as a documentary is to provide humanity with the terrifying facts of the crimes of fascism, which he did. But what the representatives of the necro-arth do in the West (they gut the corpses of people and, after special treatment in various poses, put them on display in the exhibition halls), I can’t consider it as ethical !!!

    Residents of the Bulgarian town celebrate the liberation from the Nazis.

    And before that we fought twice on the German side. With such "brothers" we are not on the way.

    And now in NATO, they dream of elements of a missile defense against Russia.
