Actually the site is below the pics and you can see some 30 more pics I think there..
And it says that it is Howard Schickler Fine Art , the site that is.
Anyway, Carl, do you think those people from Vienna committed suicide? I think the pic looks a bit weird like they were sitting there and someone nice and polite persons shot them in the head...maybe Nazis but not a very evident suicide body configuration, I think...

Ooops--sorry about that my friend--I didnt see the link posted.
I don't know--that pic of the "suicide victims" definately looks staged. I agree-with you, it isnt very natural-looking.

They were probably shot as the Soviets were closing in.

The third photo has clearly been tampered with, look at the sky in the background.

That is a standard technique in black-and-white photo printing. It is called "burning-in."
Very light areas, especially around the edges of the photo, are given a little extra exposure to darken them. It keeps the sky from looking washed out, and also helps keep the viewer's eye centered on the subject/foreground of the photo instead of wandering off to the edges/background.
It isn't really deceptive. It simply makes the image less confusing to the eye. It doesn't change the content or meaning of the image. |

This has nothing to do with THESE photos, but I personally have found quite a few "tampered with" Soviet photos. I guess it's no surprise, and everyone posed photos, but there is one specifically that I found in a Soviet book about WWII here at the library. I recognized it as a picture of my favorite 9th US Inf. Div. on Utah beach in a trench...a relatively common shot. But they made it "fuzzy", for lack of a better term. And I swear they just painted over the helmets and rifles to make them look a little different. If I remember correctly, there was a dead giveaway....maybe a US e-tool?

Yep! One of the more well-known ones is the re-enacted raising of the flag over the Reichstag. First of all is the fact that people in street below are casually strolling along, clearly showing the picture is taken post-battle. After developing the picture it was also found that one of the soldiers carried two watches, so one (or perhaps both - don't remember offhand) of the looted watches was edited out of the pic.
Then we have this one:
Which originally had a clearer sky, but was later supplied with this more ominous one...

Check the pillars...probably something like "Ivan was here!" or the more usual " Hitler is kaputt!"...
