"The addition of the red flag, on 2 May 1945 at the Berlin Reichstag building raised, was heard for half a century of the icons of contemporary history. But as Ernst Volland now in a book proves: This photo is distorted.
There are serious historians who doubt that it has a centuries-long sections of our history, including important figures such as Charles the Great, where ever. What at first sounds like pure spinning may be based entirely on good reasons, which are widely accepted by the majority of those scientists that this claim - refer to the realm of imagination - with no less good reasons. After careful analysis shows that countless medieval documents are forged. There have
we are now much better because we do not rely solely on text, but have been a half centuries of photo documents that prove that this or that actually happened. Do they really? A few photos are as famous as the one Yevgeny Khaldei on 2 has taken May 1945 on the still burning Reichstag building. But not only this building was in flames, hung over large areas of Berlin nor the smoke of burning buildings, as seen clearly in the background? In his recent book, "The banner of victory", the photo-known author and curator Ernst Volland now demonstrated that even this central document of contemporary history is not an original (first image).
now has not cut Khaldei soldier and flag and a picture of the Reichstag roof pasted, but being smuggled two large plumes of smoke from another of his shots in a negative-assembly. That section and the background between the two pictures differ slightly above, has to say against anything - Khaldei used a whole movie for this series of motifs.
a windy affair
In another picture you can see that the second soldier who holds the ornament on its stone balancing comrades precaution, wears a watch on each wrist. The fact that the loot was shortly after the invasion of the capital, was obvious, but it should not just be presented to the world. So retouched Khaldei these items from the photo. In another version of him appeared the most un-dynamic flag hanging too boring and he glued a picture from another easy about it - but so bad that the assembly itself lay immediately catches the eye - either way that is quite a windy affair.
The spread on several magazine covers color version has it as an original photo by the way also never been, it is a manual coloring by the photographer. The deviations from the expected documentary authenticity are therefore significant. The central scene has there been so much so additional dramatization by assembly but was evidently appreciated even then.
If Khaldei it took more than half a century, was discovered by the - at that photo that the Israeli attack on Beirut after a fifth August 2006 - almost exactly 61 years after the Flaggenhissung - not only real, but also digitally multiplied smoke clouds over the Lebanese city showed it went much faster. This over-zealous photographer and digital technician in accordance with the unmasking of his forgery immediately dismissed from the photo agency, for which he had worked before. "

not surprising the fact that the decade-long indoctrinated views of crumbling Soviet Befreiertum. An exemption as many democratically reformed each year on 8 're Celebrating, was a liberation from what? Justice and humanity? The former Soviet "liberators" who freed the German people only by justice and humanity were raging in our cities, plundered and robbed raped, millions of German women and children, murdered the sick and helpless. But the story always writes only the winner, leaving only those who have to bend them and eat every lie that you accuse them. But nobody can say that he does not know the truth, the stories of your grandparents, their fates and tragedies, you know the truth, why do you talk about not she? The dead can not speak, the oppressed are tired of talking-will their voice and raises it on May 8, 2010!
