Curious where that photo is from?

I doubt the Nazi party would have allowed a photo like that to see the light of day during the war.  It makes me wonder if that is a photo taken during filming of a movie.

It was a scene from "Die Brucke" filmed in 1959.

War sux. Teach your children well.

Its time to man up and stop photo's like that. What I mean by that no one should see the face of war. Its a horrific thing that will make you break into tears, or just not want to remember. Thats my thought of it anyway.

Cheers.

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

The sympathetic ministerings of a young fellow's First Sargeant.  I believe this picture is universal across all nations and all eras.  It shows the Army's care and handling of it's privates... :bolt:

Uh oh...I think the poor lad has wet himself...

It's a good movie, true story of a group of German boys conscripted into the German army in the weeks of the war sent to defend a strategically unimportant bridge against Allied attack.

One of the most powerful images from wartime out there.  This one happens to be from Korea.  I trust you are trying to be funny and doing it poorly, instead of just not having a clue.

Agreed.   An extremely powerful photo right there.
