Title: WW2 Photo Search
Post by: DREDger on May 30, 2009, 04:55:01 PM: Not to sound morbid, but there was a famous WW2 photo I recall seeing as a kid.

It is a picture of a german infantryman the moment he got shot. His arms are out the side and just released his rifle, which is suspended in the air just in front of him.

Does anyone know the photo I am talking about, or a link to see it?
