Wars should not have a place in a civilized society, but they, big or small, are constantly being waged. We have all seen many photographs of the Great Patriotic War. Photojournalists, risking their lives along with the military, were able to leave us a lot of evidence, thanks to which we can plunge into history ...
Russian prisoners of war. Lithuania, Vilna, June 1941.
War correspondent. Summer, 1941.
But how many of us have seen military evidence from the other side? Are we interested in this? Are we ready to see how the invaders of our land perceived this war? Still, no matter how painful it is to look at some of these pictures, studying them can give a lot to understand that page of our history.
