Planes bomb a hillside while a reindeer looks on (Murmansk Oblast,Russia, WW2).  This is actually a composite image, with the planesand exploding bomb added later.The photo was taken by Yevgeny Khaldei, who often staged ormanipulated his photos to “enhance and strengthen the ‘truth’ ofthe visual moment”.  According to Khaldei:“During the bombings, a reindeer came out of the tundra.  He wantedto be with people.  They built him a shed to live in, and gave him aname, Yasha.  Every time the alarm sounded, he ran to be with thesoldiers–he didn’t want to be alone.  During one of the airraids, I took this shot.  In 1944, when the battle for Murmansk wasover, the soldiers didn’t know what to do with him.  They loadedhim into a truck and took him back to the tundra, thinking he wouldjoin the other deer.  But he couldn’t understand what washappening. He ran after the truck as long as he could.” -- source link
