My favorite photo is the one where the American soldier has his hands up and the Nazi soldier is smiling with his gun to the American's back. Yeah...

I also love photos of the Concentration Camp Kommandants. Ach!

I have a (great) picture, saved from one of the non-specific web forums, and I would like to know if it is a WW II period picture, or the one depicting a modern reenactment of the WW II action.

Could anybody confirm either? I would greatly appreciate.

Hello Tornike,

Although I don´t know it by proof... the photo has not the "original feeling". I can´t explain it but for 99% this looks like a reenactment photo.

Thank you for your reply.
That is what I have been feeling too when looking at the photo. Would be great if somebody knows for sure and can confirm.

reenactment for sure. Long lens with no depth of field at all. period combat photo's such as this would have been in black and white with a lot of depth of field. The color would have more of a bluish hue to it from aging and fading.
