What are some of your favorite historical photos?

If I had to choose a favorite, it would either be [i]Raising a Flag Over the Reichstag[/i] or the famous photograph of Chief Sitting Bull.

Interesting choices.

Do you know that the Red Army soldiers who hoised the flag was wearing two watches, one at each wrist? The censors made sure that the photo was manipulated so that only one watch was being shown.

@PissAndVinegar The impression that the Red Army soldiers were plundering and stealing.

Of course that was a bit laughable considering they raped every German woman in sight.

@PissAndVinegar Yes, indeed. Since warfare started the loser's women were part of the spoils.
