Re: THOSE ATROCITY PHOTOS...

Is brutal.
Tell us, Reverend, is there any picture of Nazi atrocities that you would not consider "a good candidate for having been faked"?Scott Smith wrote:Yes, I think that photo would be a good candidate for having been faked.
What does it matter if she was a Jewish victims of Einsatzgruppen massacres or just a hapless Ukrainian or Belorussian peasant massacred in the course of a German "anti-partisan" operation?Scott Smith wrote:How do we know that the woman with baby is Jewish?
Which gave them the right to butcher those of them they didn't like, I suppose.Scott Smith wrote:It may come as a surprise but the Germans fought alongside many civilian refugees, especially while they were on the retreat, and not just German civilians.
Do you call a massacre site a "battlefield", Reverend?Scott Smith wrote:So the presence of civilians on the battlefield is nothing unusual
Why, has the Reverend all of a sudden become a photo expert? Or is he uncritically parroting the crap that Udo Walendy or some other enlightened "Revisionist" spirit has been parroting?Scott Smith wrote:and it doesn't even look like the rifle is aimed at the woman.
The "compositional oddness" exists only in the Reverend's mind, I dare say.Scott Smith wrote:Of course, it could simply be a cut-and-paste job, which could account for the compositional oddness of it.
Well, if you can provide no evidence to the picture having been "faked", better hold your breath, Reverend. "Could be" is not an argument, especially when backed by nothing other than apologetic wishful thinking.Scott Smith wrote:I don't know.
No picture proves anything on its own. But a picture can be an interesting part of the puzzle in conjunction with eyewitness depositions and/or documentary evidence, such as the Operational Situation Reports USSR, some of which are translated under the linkScott Smith wrote:Nice picture. It proves nothing.

[/quote]Nobody is denying that the Germans (Wehrmacht and SS), as well as foreign Axis troops and brigands, committed massacres and atrocities.[/quote]
No, the freaks just try to sell us the idea that the killers were "brigands" acting against orders, even though they submitted detailed and regular reports to their superiors about what they did.
Some more victims of Wehrmacht and SS "brigands" - or just collateral casualties of a "very brutal war":

The one that got to me....
....was the picture of the burned Chinese baby sitting by himself and crying in the rubble of a bombed out city, probably Shanghai.
Answer me this guys and gals. The Japs delighted in murdering, raping and torturing civilians and POW's by the hundreds of thousands but only the Germans are the bad guys. Why were these murdering little rats allowed to get away with it while the Germans were punished for decades?

BTW. Its Hong Kong.
About the Japanese, I think their atrocities were not publized as much and less people in the world hate them mostly due to how the media is unfamiliar with the East. IMO they focus more on the European theater because its more intimate, closer to them as they're in the same racial catagory.
Like today, I went to a local bookstore and checked out the WW2 section, at least 60% of it is about the European theater and its campaings, the rest were about uniforms, u-boats, North Africa. I only saw one book about the East and it was about Iwoa Jima.
Here in Hong Kong, every year there are protests about how Japan should formally appoligize to the destruction they did. People here hate the Japs ALOT more than the Germans... i guess its just where you are in the world.

Many of the Japanese were executed by the tribunals. Including their leader of many years Tojo. But there was to many to escape the hanging.Answer me this guys and gals.

Children & Civillians at war - a few more pics
A few pics of children and civillians in wartime including the baby in shanghai mentioned a few posts above.

Does anyone know any details of the Japanese family in one of the pics?
They were apparently sent to a relocation centre despite having a son wearing US Army uniform.
Were they the subject of any "famous" articles or stories?

the picture that moved is the one when a sad German officer eating his cold can of food in the rubbles of Berlin after Germany surrendered. That picture moved me because there is a lot more after it. Division of Germany. Both Germanys rebuilt. West German economic miracle. The Berlin Wall. Germany becomes one again. I think if that man is still alive, he would be happy today to see how Germany strives today.
Sadly, I couldn't find the picture on the internet.
