Unusual photo from 1939.A scene like that,was rarely taken by camera during the battle.The third soldier from left is holding a French LMG Chauchat.This picture are for a training. The explosion are a "earth" explosion so it is 100 gram TNT digged 1 meter down the earth to give this dramatic picture. No sane person will be standing if it was a ordinary granate there would be granate fragments all over and stones too. Just too dangeus.
Might be a stupid question. But this Anna Kreisling is totally made up right?
Whilst many in the Warsaw ghetto were desperately trying to evade the deportations there were also those who were resigned to their fate. The orphanage run by Janusz Korczak was listed for evacuation on the 5th August.It is believed that the Nazis wanted to send Korczak alone to the Theresienstadt concentration camp, the ‘model’ camp where they kept some prominent Jews in relatively decent conditions as a smokescreen for their other activities. Janusz Korczak refused to be separated from his children.In a move that was witnessed by many in the ghetto he did his best to ensure their last journey was as trouble free as possible:QuoteI happened to see Janusz Korczak and his orphans leaving the ghetto. The evacuation of the Jewish orphanage run by Janusz Korczak had been ordered for that morning. The children were to have been taken away alone. He had the chance to save himself, and it was only with difficulty that he persuaded the Germans to take him too.He had spent long years of his life with children and now, on this last journey, he could not leave them alone. He wanted to ease things for them.He told the orphans they were going out in to the country, so they ought to be cheerful. At last they would be able to exchange the horrible suffocating city walls for meadows of flowers, streams where they could bathe, woods full of berries and mushrooms.He told them to wear their best clothes, and so they came out into the yard, two by two, nicely dressed and in a happy mood. The little column was led by an SS man.

He refrained from dropping the other when he saw the crew abandoning the U-boat.
Interesting how the nuke is painted in red compared to the conventional bombings, i didn't know it was done that way. The Enola Gay also has it?Also interesting how it did another bombrun after it dropped Fat Man.
I usually imagine my own sounds with it, like `tjunk, tupdieyupdiedee` aaa enemy spotted, ratatatataboom
