The only thing I read in the Daily Mail are the comments which are frequently funny. They cannot get into their heads that jets are aeroplanes but not every aeroplane is a jet. almost every article on a WW2 plane refers to it a jet somewhere, even if it is a DC3.

Tempest 'tank busters' ? Look remarkably like Typhoons to me !
And what, pray, is an 'areal' shot ??!!
The Press (and the BBC) are getting worse by the day !

Airframes I thought you were ex military? I clearly instructed readers to ignore the text.
The DM frequently has some good pictures but the editorial hurts every human sense.

Sorry old chap - couldn't resist a dig at the media for their continued ignorance and 'flimsy' research.
I and many others think the errors and OTT jingoism are deliberate to provoke a reaction and comments i.e. click bait.

Most likely told to smile or be raped again. You can tell that the one in the middle is extremely stressed and notice how the one closest to the camera seems to be squeezed into submission. "Brave comrades indeed." I hate watching those crappy old news reels from WW II praising the Soviets, even more so when I realize they were produced by Communists.

U.S. Army troops move through the German town of Blankenhain, wiping out any last remaining pockets of resistance by the Germans. A dead German soldier lies on the sidewalk between two American soldiers, killed in action defending the town. Blankenhain, Thuringia, Germany. April 1945
Here is well-known pic of Russians hanging out the Red flag in the captured Berlin. Just wonder if these two wirst watches are because of the difference of an hour between Moscow and Berlin or just were liberated.

I read somewhere that that is the original unpublished photo with the 2 watches. Apparently Uncle Joe didn't like the idea of showing looting to the world and a doctored photo showing only one watch was released to the world. I'll see if I can find the article
