Reminds me of the photo of a Polish(?) young girl holding her dead sister after an air raid
Edit: Found it, 1939, girl in the photo is 10. Slightly NSFL http://miepvonsydow.wordpress.com/2014/02/07/kazimiera-mika-a-10-year-old-polish-girl-crying-over-her-older-sisters-body-she-was-killed-during-a-german-air-raid-while-working-in
“But the Nazi fliers were not satisfied with their work. In a few minutes they came back and swooped down to within two hundred feet of the ground, this time raking the field with machine-gun fire. Two of the seven women were killed. The other five escaped somehow.”
Completely senseless, and indefensible.
Yikes
Here is a positive one from the same period to cheer you up.
“Austrian boy receive a new pair of shoes during WWII”
This brought joy to my soles.
Here’s another heartwarming one
One of the great photos from the original Life magazine at my grandmothers house…
Damn
