Luger Lanyards and Shoulder Straps

Roadkill · 09-05-2002, 11:06 AM

What amazes me about period war photos is human nature prevaling in the most astounding conditions. These men are young. In their time they were the most seasoned ruthless killers imaginable. Most likely within the last two hours of this photo, this same group of men, different only in circumstance and nationality, were trying to remorsely kill each other. Some of both groups probably were killed by the very men standing there. And yet they all stand there passively, some actually touching, completely removed from a horrendous environment which placed all of them in the vicinity of immediate violent death within 100 yards, to passively have a picture taken.
