This photo here, probably:


Just shows the fluid motion of combat and if you look claosely you can see a .30 cal cartridge flying from the M1 Garand...just cool, like the sunlight too and it adds to the idea that it's hot and humid in the jungle where these guys are fighting...don't know for sure exactly which campaign this is, most likely Guadalcanal, Bougainville, Phillipines or New Guinea. Post back if anyone has any idea.

Penn Station_WWII.jpg

One of my all-time favorites. A friend of mine and I were looking at this picture, and he said, "Look at the way that the soldier is looking at the woman, and she is totally unaware of it. He looks as if he has been waiting for this moment forever."

Predictably:



The man with the SS-Leibstandarte labarum was Senior Sergeant Fyodor Legkoschur.

Intresting thing about the 3rd photo, Ceraphix:

A few days before the Reichstag was captured, the Red Army in Berlin ran out of flags. The photographer of this picture, Yevgeny Khaldei flew back to Moscow, where, upon finding no flags, commandeered three large red tablecloths from a News Agency. The commisionary there asked him what the cloth was for, and Khaldei replied that it was a military secret. He then had his uncle stitch homemade hammer-and-sickle emblems on the three red tablecloths.
Upon returning to Berlin, Khaldei planted one flag on the Air Ministry building, one on top of the Brandenburg gate and the third he carried with him as he followed an assault squad to the top of the Reichstag. He then photographed the tablecloth "flag" as it was being planted.

Gosh, there are so many wierd and cool stories behind war photographs.

One of my all-time favourites:



Taken in France, 1940. Just look at the expressions in their faces... both sides surprised.
