All these old photographs were taken by a German photographer Franz Grasser. They show how Russians existed on the territories captured by German nazi invaders. Would they be different if taken by a Russian photographer?
Was it such a propaganda?

The pictures would have been exactly the same whetehr taken by Nazi or Stalinist photographers becuase both sides wanted to portray a rural utopia when the reality was starvation and summary executions.
Better was to smile…my granny witnessed a murder when some boy rejected german chocolate and said bad things to soldier. He just smashed boy’s head at the well.
I didn’t know color photography existed in the 1500s.
Looks like they are glad the commies have gone,maybe the occupiers where not so bad after all
Remember history is written by the winners.
Only girl in the photos … These Germans – obvious pedophiles … So half of Russia German roots … These “brothers” from Germany fucked everything that moves … Half of Russian cows and sheep – also German roots …
German soldiers were well known for taking photos of the little girls they raped. Every one of these girls was raped.
Then came the revenge in 1944/45…more than 2 million German women were raped by Red Army soldiers. This war was one of the darkest chapters in modern human history.
Tiger! Do you forget who started the war? The faschist started!
2 million vs 10 million raped by the Germans. Nazi sympathizers everywhere these days like to portray the Huns as civilized invaders.
It is sad to see brainwashed russians. You probably think that Stalin was a great leader too…
i see no signs of war so maybe they are happy, or maybe smile or we kill you, who knows. they were not smiling when the germans retreated, burning everything as they went.
koenigsburg/kaliningrad?
No. This is Ukraine, 1943/44. The photos very probably show a peasant family assigned to provide accomodation for the photographer.
The good news, you have been liberated from Stalinist oppression.
The bad news, you have been liberated by the Nazis.
No indication where photos taken – looks like rolling steppe country – odd that all the women wore exactly same pure white kerchiefs. Almost like an acting troupe.
The bony horse looked less than happy.
Almost all of them have no shoes.
terrible faschist-propaganda
I really wish people would study their History, before they make comments about a subject, they have no ideal about……. The only correct comment I read was, “They have no shoes” . To that person, It was a war and most industries made war goods and the people suffered from these effects……. To Dev Ananda Das, I Agree….. To the rest of comments…….. Please read your History first, you will be Amazed at the Truth, as all governments and the news media will tell you nothing but lies
