One more point though,Have you noticed the unusualy high proportion of "head wounds" being bandaged in the Soviet photos? mmmm,no posed ,after the action recreations going on there is there ....
Ha!

I think photos no 1 & 4 are real, but the rest (apart form the memorial statue) are most certainly propoganda photos! But you try finding photos of medics in action! I've spent virtually a whole day this week doing ever more ridiculously-named Google image searches!

I do come across Russian sites now and again, with lists of archive photos. but not being able to read the language is a bit of a hindrance! The only way to find them would be to individually click on every link, and then I'd be sat here for ever! (All this internet trawling don't half give me a numb bum!)

Any way, found some more interesting stuff about my namesake, Zoya, yesterday...but that's for another thread
