The Daily Mail reports in English a story originating in the center-left El Periódico de Catalunya of Barcelona establishing by topographic analysis that a series of photos by Robert Capa, including the world famous image above of a Loyalist militiaman at the moment of his being shot, were faked.
Comparison of landscape features apparently demonstrates that the Capa photos were actually taken some 30 miles (50 km.) from the actual front lines.
Auden did not call the 1930s a “dark, dishonest decade” for nothing, and pretty much everything originating from the Left does tend to be a lie. Why should anyone be surprised?
