The photos are both captioned:
Photo#1 (16 may 1959) shows the body of a man that was recovered from Merrimakc River in Haverhill, Massachusetts; the body was wrapped with chains. Both cause of death and identity of the man were unknown when the photo was taken.

Photo#2 (8 June 1919) was taken in France and reads:

Horman women and children carrying their belonging as they return to Pont l'Abbe after the allies forced the germans from the Cherbourg peninsula town, pass a dead German and smashed German equipment.

The photo was taken by Harry Harris, AP

So neither of the pics have anything to do with WW2? A little reading before posting goes a long way.

BHPO 51601 - 5/16/59 - The body of a man completely dressed in womens clothing and wrapped in chains like a mummy was discovered from the Merrimac River 5/16. The body was weighted by tire chains. Polive are trying to determine the identity of the dead man and the cause of death. UPI TELE.

"...completely dressed in womens clothing and wrapped in chains... The body was weighted by tire chains."

Seriously, WTF?

The second pic is from 1944, not 1919. The tracked vehicle upside down is a KKK (Keinen Ketten Krad). They were pretty cool, though. Half tank/ half motor cycle.
