I like this one here because it’s the unedited version. As I’m sure you know, you can see the soldier in the bottom right has two watches. It shows how the soviets covered up the looting that their troops did when they reached Berlin.
Another cool historic photo is all those samurai sitting in the sphinx
I ain’t defending nazis! Just pointing out how the Soviet Union edited this photo to make themselves look better
It wasn’t even a watch but the wrist compass, they were issued to junior officers and senior NCO’s in Red Army, and the soldier in photo was senior NCO.
It’s a fascinating photo outside of the main subject. The destroyed city, all the people below, and the crowd of people gathered around the T-34-85 tank at the bottom left. So much to look at!

Iirc that’s an explanation made up later. I don’t see why it mattered enough to try to edit out though, should’ve just went with “so what”
My God the copium.
Regardless of what the object on this man’s wrist is. The Soviet Union edited the image to remove it to cover up the fact that looting was happening.
Your brain on anticommunism: “there was no looting involved but they hidden the looting anyways”.
There’s communism and there’s being a tankie.
Don’t be a tankie.
I suppose if the Nazis didn’t want their capital looted they shouldn’t have tried to exterminate poor former peasants.
