ausschreitungen: British soldiers who fell being honored by SS members.  Now that’s not the kind of photo you see in history books. Pictures of soldiers helping peasants or talking to smiling children can be staged for propaganda, but taking pictures of your troops treating the bodies of your slain enemies with decency and respect… I’m not sure what political gain you’d get from that (think about what Americans would have thought about their troops giving German/Nazi funerals).
