Re: Dramatic Photo Thread
The tragedy of this Sudeten woman, unable to conceal her misery as she dutifully salutes the triumphant Hitler, is the tragedy of the silent millions who have been "won over" to Hitlerism by the "everlasting use" of ruthless force. Ca. 1938 British Trooper W. Williamson does his good deed for the day by rescuing a puppy dog from the ruins of a shelled German house on the outskirts of Geilenkirchen A youngster, clutching his soldier father, gazes upward while the latter lifts his wife from the ground to wish her a "Merry Christmas." The serviceman is one of those fortunate enough to be able to get home for the holidays. December 1944 This dead German soldier was one of the "last stand" defenders of German-held Cherbourg. Capt. Earl Topley, who led one of the first outfits into the fallen city, blamed him for killing three of his boys. France, June 27, 1944

Re: Dramatic Photo Thread

Re: Dramatic Photo Thread
Phnom Penh, Cambodia's Stung Meanchey Landfill Stung Meanchey landfill, nicknamed by residents as "Smokey Mountain". Stung Meanchey opened more than 15 years ago to serve as the city dump and today some 2000 registered workers, including 600 children, work at the site sifting through roughly 700 tons of waste that arrives each day. The World Bank states that 35% of Cambodia's population of around 14 million exists on less than $.50 USD per day. Since an adult who spends 12 hours per day scavenging through this sea of waste may earn as much as 10,000 reil, or the equivalent of $2.50 USD, many of the workers come to work at Stung Meanchey to escape the crushing poverty and malnourishment found in several areas of rural Cambodia. Their newfound wealth comes with a heavy price however, as they are forced to breathe in heavy air polluted by the constant smolder that generates toxic byproducts from the flaming heaps of garbage. |
