The Red Army's Forgotten Photographer Photographs by the Soviet photographer who took the Reichstag Flag pictures. Careful, some quite grisly pictures with body parts etc. It's quite a lot of photos, so it will take long to load.
Cheers Za, Some remarkable pictures in there, the bodies on the Park Bench is quite intriguing. I wonder what their story is-Collaborators?

What a fine collection of photos. Very thought provoking. Some of the Capital cities that fell to the Soviets. There's a number of photos that I recognise but some good ones that I had never seen before.
Amazing collection of photos. I was thinking what a subject for a few 'then and nows' then saw Owen had beaten me to it. Mike
Here is the man himself, the photographer phographed! And an absolutely great repository of photography here !
I recognise a lot of those locations in Berlin, Vienna and Budapest from business trips and family holidays over the years. War is a terrible thing. Buildings can be restored, but destroyed and broken lives can not; very poignant.
