Yevgeny Khaldei

Yevgenyn mukaan homma meni seuraavalla tavalla:

I ran onto the roof together with the soldiers, and looked for a good angle. The soldiers already had the flag, but I couldn't decide where to take the picture. Then I found my spot, and I told the soldier, "Alyosha, climb up there." and he said, "Okay, if somebody holds me by the feet."
 
En tiedä höykäsenpöläystäkään valokuvauksesta, mutta toi kuva on hieno omalla tavallaan, ainakin omaan silmään...
 
Valitettavasti usein noi sotakuvat ovat vain posetettuja, ei oikeita tilanteita. Kuva on kyllä hieno, ei tommoisia kovin helpolla järjestellä.

Choosing the German Parliament building, The Reichstag, as his Iwo Jima, Khaldei moved to create his Soviet Propaganda masterpiece....

...Censors at TASS noticed that on the wrists of the solider in the picture there was not one but two watches indicating a common practice by all parties during World War II, looting. The officials thought the sight of looting members of the Red Army would look badly and told Khaldei to edit them out. Not stopping with the watches, Khaldei also added smoke to the background to add to the drama of a wartime shot. In a recent Art show commemorating his work only one of his shots was actual taken during combat and not posed. In defense of Mr. Khaldei he might have been too busy to actually take pictures during combat.
 
Jos tuo kuva on lavastettu niin hieman outoa että lipunnostajalle on jäänyt Saksalainen Schmeisser eli MP40 selkään. Oletettavasti tilanne on kuitenkin tuossa vaiheessa jo ihan "turvallinen" ollut. Hieno kuva.
