Into the Jaws of Death 6th June 1944

U.S troops wading throug heavy surf and heavy Nazi Machine gun fire. June 6 1944

This great picture has photographed by Robert Sargent in 6 June 1944 in Omaha Beach in D-Day Operation.

Things have not gone so well since Omaha Beach. The planes bombed the shores and the trenches opened up for soldiers, but a successful bombardment could not be arranged for Omaha, and Allied troops made a shoreline without any kind of ship.

The Allies knew that in heavy-duty rifle battles, the soldiers would give heavy losses in the shores where there was no shield. They designed their light tanks to go in the water. All four sides of the tank were covered with high cloths, so water was prevented from getting inside. Omaha Beach was very choppy, and Allied tanks could not stand this wave, and they battled.

British tank commanders did not put their tanks into the sea because they knew they would not be able to get to the tide. The Allies, who have a large number of marketplaces, were able to control Omaha eventually with large losses.

The image was evoked in the 1998 Hollywood movie of Saving Private Ryan.

İşgal sonrası Polonya'da toplama kampına gönderilen bir kız

Nazi Almanyası 1 Eylül 1939 yılında Polonya'ya girdi ve sadece 1 ayda Polonyayı işgal etti. 1939 yılı sonuna kadar 60.000 Polonyalı öldürüldü.

Özellikle Varşova'da yoğunlukla bulunan yahudiler Ghetto diye tabir edilen Yahudi mahallelerinde yaşamaktaydılar.

Hitlerin özel fotoğrafçısı Hugo Jaeger Kutno bölgesindeki Ghetto'ya girdi ve çok özel resimler çekti. İşte bunlardan bir tanesi de Ekim 1939 yılında Hugo Jaeger'in resmini çektiği ve muhtemelen başına geleceklerden de habersiz olan bu kızdı.

Kutno Ghetto bölgesinde bir kız

Başına geleceklerden habersizdi çünkü Kutno bölgesindeki Yahudiler daha sonra toplama kamplarına götürülerek öldürüldü yada Nazi Almanya'sı için fabrikalarda çalıştırıldılar.

Hugo Jaeger, müttefiklerin 1945 yılında Almanya'ya girmesi üzerine bu fotoğraflardan dolayı savaş suçundan yargılanmamak için fotoğrafları deriyle kapladığı bir cama saklayarak Münih'te bir araziye gömdü. Resimlerin güvende olduğunu kontrol etmek için de ara ara gelerek kontrol etti.

Hugo Jaeger, saklamış olduğu resimleri 2. Dünya Savaşı bittikten 20 yıl sonra Life Dergisine sattı.

Resimlerde birçok kişi ve konu daha sonradan tanınmasına rağmen, objektife gülümseyen bu kızın kim olduğu asla bulunamadı.

German Soldier with Motorcycle 1942

The German military was the largest employers of motorcycles during World War II 1939-45. On June 22, 1941 Germany launched its Operation Barbarossa, the 3-million-man invasion of the Soviet Union. During the campaigns that followed, the military motorcyclist served a variety of functions including chauffeur service for officers, delivering dispatches, even hot meals, as scouting patrols, as point vehicles taking the brunt of battle, sometimes as specially equipped tank destroyers. As with all motorcyclists, there was a kinship among these soldiers who called themselves “kradmelder” (military motorcycle messenger). They rode exposed without the armor plating of the Panzers, without the safety of hundreds of foot soldiers beside them. Moving targets as it were, sniper magnets, and then there were mine fields, artillery fire, and strafing aircraft to contend with.

The other enemy was the Russian weather. By autumn the roads had turned into nearly impassable bogs, the fields over which the motorcycles traveled turning in to “seas of jelly three feet more deep”. By winter, temperatures fell to -40 degrees Celsius, engine oil and exposed soldiers froze solid. Some German motorcycle riders benefited from special heating systems grafted onto their bikes, including foot and hand warmers. However, by war’s end, many if not most of the motorcycles, along with their riders, never returned home. ( source: Rarehistoricalphotos )

Milkman, London 1940

If you think that the person in the picture is a real milker, you are mistaken. This picture was made for propaganda purposes to show that the British people continued their daily life during the Blitz Attacks in Germany during the Second World War. The photo was taken by Fred Morley on October 9th and published on October 10th.

What is Blitz?

After the beginning of World War II, only Britain remained among the places Hitler did not fully acquire. France had already surrendered and the European continent was under German control. Hitler was planning a major bombing campaign to destroy Britain from the battlefield or destroy air forces to prepare for occupation.

Blitz children

Britain bombed almost every day between September 7, 1940 and May 16, 1941 until Hitler was to launch an attack against Russia in 1941. These attacks were called Blitz (lightning, thunder).

Blitz Attacks

The main aim of Blitz attacks was to drop London. While the people were hiding in the night houses, they were hiding in the underground under the daytime.

People in subways

The picture below is Saint Paul's Cathedral. Blitz bombardments continue and a cold December night, fire fumes all over the city.

St. Paul Cathedral

When a photographer saw the cathedral of St. Paul, half a mile away, at the time of the attack, he set out to take photographs of destruction. The smoke from the building rises and everyone who follows has thought that the cathedral will definitely fall. At that time, with the effect of a strong wind, the smoke in front of the building was opened and the photographer caught it. Everyone thought the cathedral was burned that night, but the next morning they woke up and saw that the building was standing. It was a source of inspiration for many Londoners. Seeing that the cathedral survived this bombing, people's faith in themselves came back.


The British government was censoring photos of this kind so that people would not lose their morale. That's why Fred Morley staged a milk photograph to raise people's morale.

At the end of Blitz, about 30,000 Londoners died and 50,000 people were injured.
