German soldiers like Joseph Schulz. Ale bev alone, without shooting (4 photos). Doubt the reliability of the circumstances of the strategy

German soldier, participant in the Other World War. There were executions by German officers near a Serbian village for those who stood up for the partisans who were convicted before the execution. In former Yugoslavia, and now in present-day Serbia, he is respected as an anti-fascist hero.

Josef Schulz (Schultz) – nim. (Jozef Šulc - Serb.) born in 1909, Wuppertal, Nimeczina. Shooting on June 19, 1941, in the village of Smederivska-Palanka, Yugoslavia. He was a German soldier, 114th Jaeger (714th Infantry) Division.
Josef's colleagues respected him as a calm person who could create fun in any company. He was not fiery, reckless, and was more often gentle. Having played the piano, and also being a good artist, he miraculously produced reproductions of paintings by Dutch artists.

At the end of 1941, the German troops on the Gradishti mountain near the village of Vishivets defeated the Palanack partisan company. Near the Serbian village of Smederevska-Palanka, the Germans captured 16 civilians, called them collaborators with the partisans and sent them to an impromptu battle - to the 5th Cavalry Regiment named and Queen Maria Karageorgovich. The Military District Court tried 16 people before execution, and was sentenced to death on the 19th evening.
The same flock was chosen as the place for the martyrdom - the prisoners were placed with their backs to a stack of hay, and in front of the partisans their eyes were blindfolded. Before the shooting, Joseph Schultz, who was already at the firing squad's warehouse, hesitantly threw his rifle to the ground and shouted:
- Ich schieße nicht! Diese Männer sind unschuldig! (I don’t shoot! These people are innocent!)
The commander of the firing squad, sensing this phrase, froze at the shot: the division soldier was relieved
vikonuvati order. The decision was praised immensely - Schultz was recognized as a rebel, and for his infraction he was ordered to be shot. Virok vikono negaino. Josef was entrusted with the slaughter of the partisans.

Joseph Schulz was just a few miles away from his death (marked by arrow)
Josef stands in front of the partisans, the armor in his hands is no longer there, the helmet on his head is also no longer there. On both sides there are comrades in service. Right-handed photographer from the firing squad. The identification of the figure in this photograph itself as Schultz will be noted by a number of historians and biographers.

To commemorate the fact that he was stabbed to death in the division, Josef’s family was given a fake “funeral,” which was initiated by the command.
In 1972, Josef's brother Walter traveled to Yugoslavia to learn the details of his brother's death. Having looked at that photograph, Walter confirmed that it actually depicts Joseph Schultz.
The Yugoslav journalist Zvonimir Jankovic is also wise to find a photograph from the scene of the shooting, in which an officer and soldier were recorded in the Wehrmacht, which is in contrast; Although that soldier wore a German uniform, there were no visible signs of the Wehrmacht on it. Obviously, this is Joseph himself. In 1973, journalists from the Yugoslav newspaper Politika visited Walter Schultz in Germany, giving an interview and revealing information about his brother.
In Yugoslavia, the German soldier was actually crowned a national hero and a symbol of the anti-fascist support.

This story clearly and concisely conveys the idea that people may choose in the future. That number is in the war.

The German Wehrmacht has deprived itself of a bad memory. Even if their veterans were relieved by the numerous military atrocities, they were not just soldiers, but punitive forces. If this soldier is in service with the Wehrmacht in Serbia. A film was made about him, his name is on the pages of the Serbian sidekick of history.

Bulo chi not bulo?

For a long time, the very fact of Josef Schultz’s capture from participation in the shooting of civilians and his further strategy was put in doubt. It was confirmed that this whole story was communist propaganda. Schultz’s homeland rejected official information that Corporal Joseph Schultz had given his life for the Fuhrer and Reich in the battle against Tito’s “bandits.” The commander of the 714th division, Friedrich Stahl, gave a detailed description of this incident to his colleague. Photos taken by one of the members of the firing squad were finally found. On one of them, Joseph Schulz, without zbroi and without sholom, straight to a stack of hay, to become the middle of the shot. The final point was made by the exhumation of the remains of the dead in 1947. Among the 17 soldiers, one was in the uniform of the Wehrmacht. Joseph Schultz did not die in battle, but was shot. The division command decided to acknowledge the damnable fact of the soldier’s innocence, and the company commander, Oberleutnant Gollub, sent Schultz’s mother to Wuppertal a message about the heroic death of his son in battle.

A photo was saved, taken by one of the shooters: A Wehrmacht soldier is on his way to the Serbs

Vin went up to the officer and declared that we were not shooting: he was a soldier, not a cat. The officer reminded the soldiers about the oath and presented him with a choice: either the soldier will turn around and at the same time accept the order, or he will become completely condemned at once. A few minutes of discussion, and the decision has been made. The soldier put his rifle on the ground, straightened up to the Serbs who were sentenced to death and became the guard of them. The name of the soldier is Joseph Schultz.

Who is it, Joseph Schultz?

The biography of Corporal Joseph Schultz has nothing heroic. Having died as a father from Persha Svitov, Joseph lost his position as a senior member of the family and began working at an early age. Crafts school, we design shop windows. According to his brother's knowledge, Joseph was neither fiery, nor reckless, nor aggressive, but rather soft and sentimental. Having never been involved in politics, neither a communist nor a social democrat.

Ready to serve the Fatherland and the Fuhrer. At the time of his death, he was 32 years old, a man with a fully formed light-glancing eye. He miraculously knew how to punish a soldier in wartime, who was inspired by a victorious order. Why didn’t you just go out in the open? Even if no one knew that the sack had flown past. Otherwise, in the eyes of others, you have become a killer and will lose it again. In the case of the rich, neither the oath, nor the military obligations could provide any excuse. We are fully aware of death with clean hands and hands.

Such people were

In Serbia, at the site of the tragedy, there is a monument to the dead. On the monument there is a plaque with the names and nicknames of those executed. 17 nicknames: 16 – Serbian and 1 – German.

Radyansky film director M. Romm said: “A mother needs courage in order to live for her Fatherland. But sometimes the mother’s courage is no less demanding to say “no”, if everything seems “so”, in order to lose her humanity, if all the children have ceased to be people. Still, there were people in Nimechchyna who said “no” to fascism. So, there are few such people. It stinks.

At the end of 1941, the German troops on the Gradishti mountain near the village of Vishivets defeated the Palanack partisan company. Near the Serbian village of Smederevska-Palanka, the Germans captured 16 Yugoslav partisans from the same company and sent them to the front - to the 5th Cavalry Regiment named after Queen Maria Karadjordovich. The military court tried 16 people before execution, and the sentence remained until the death of the 19th.

The same flock was chosen as the place for the martyrdom - the captives were placed with their backs to a stack of hay, and the partisans' eyes were blindfolded in front. Before the shooting, Joseph Schultz, who was already at the firing squad's warehouse, hesitantly threw his rifle to the ground and shouted:

I'm not shooting! These people are innocent!

Original text (German)
Ich schieße nicht! Diese Männer sind unschuldig!

The commander of the firing squad, sensing this phrase, froze at the shot: the division soldier was inspired to obey the order. The decision was praised immensely - Schultz was recognized as a rebel, and for breaking the law the penalty could be execution. Virok vikono negaino. Josef was entrusted with the slaughter of the partisans.

Facts about Joseph Schulz

Josef's colleagues respected him as a calm person who could create fun in any company. He was fiery, reckless and aggressive, and was often more gentle. Having played the piano, and also being a good artist, he miraculously produced reproductions of paintings by Dutch artists.

The letters that Joseph wrote to his family and friends were not saved: during the bombing of the place, the apartment with all the lanes burned down. The middle lane is not devoid of leaves, but it costs over 200 grams.

Doubt the reliability of the circumstances of the strategy

The authenticity of the fact that Joseph Schultz was spent trying to stand up for civilians has been and will be re-emphasized by many historians. Officials confirm that Schultz did not really take part in the shooting, and his name was simply assigned to one of the partisans in order to create hostility about the anti-Nazi stabbing of the division. Recently, the identification of the remains of the buried soldiers showed that a German soldier was actually buried in the village.

Josef's mother, Berti, and young brother Walter, on the 9th day of the same fate, received a notification about the death of Josef Schulz, who died the day before, and the place of death was named Visevica, and not Smederevska Palanka. A sheet of sightings from the unit headquarters with the field post number 42386 °C. According to the text “funeral”, Josef was mortally wounded by the legen while fighting against Tito’s partisans. The particular speeches of the deceased were reviewed. The bottom text of the sheet is:

In the 1960s, German industrialists Neue Illustrierteі Quick They published photographs from the scene of the shooting, and one of them showed a soldier without armor and without sholom. The Germans were subjected to whatever kind of people they could be. Member of the Bundestag, Wilderich Freiherr Ostmann von der Leie, who saw the photograph, bluntly stated that the actual images in the photograph were Joseph Schultz, who served as a trooper of division commander Friedrich Stahl, as he was given by his son, as pratsuva in the military archives of Freiburg. However, Josef’s comrades in the service, who shot the partisans, suffered more pain: in the photograph there are images of soldiers who did not die at all. Similar statements were made in Ludwigsburg by members of the commission for investigating the evils of the Nazis. Although the date of Shultz’s death was beyond doubt (after the battle with the Yugoslavs on the 19th of July 1941, the division commander was informed about the death on the 2nd night of the 20th of July), archivists stated that the incident had occurred about the incident.

Improved memory

In 1972, Josef's brother, Walter, was born on the road to Yugoslavia to learn the details of his brother's death. Having looked at that photograph, Walter confirmed that it actually depicts Joseph Schultz. As it turned out, the family gave a false “funeral”, which was created by German officers, who did everything to suppress the fact that they had been stabbed to death in the division. The Yugoslav journalist Zvonimir Jankovic is also wise to find a photograph from the scene of the shooting, in which an officer and soldier were recorded in the Wehrmacht, which is in contrast; Although that soldier wore a German uniform, there were no visible signs of the Wehrmacht on it. Obviously, this is Joseph himself. In 1973, journalists from the Yugoslav newspaper Politika visited Walter Schulz in Germany, giving an interview and revealing information about his brother.

In Yugoslavia, the German soldier was actually crowned a national hero and a symbol of the anti-fascist support. In Serbia, two monuments were erected to him: one in the village of Lokve (dedicated to himself), and the other in the village of Smeredanska-Palanka, at the site of his death (dedicated to the 16 lost partisans). The partisans themselves opposed the erection of the monument to the Germans, and the writing of Mina Kovashevich, which supported the idea of erecting a monument, was completely destroyed. In 1997, after Germany in Yugoslavia, Horst Grabert and Wilfried Gruber took part in memorial ceremonies: they paid tribute to the monuments to Joseph.

In 1941, near the village of Vishivets in Serbia, a partisan raid was defeated. After an important battle, a cleanup was carried out, at which time 16 local residents were arrested, suspected of being partisans and partisan partisans. The military court was liquidated, and we will soon transfer it: all 16 were sentenced to execution. For the first time, a platoon of the 714th Infantry Division was seen in the warehouse. The condemned were blindfolded and sentenced to a hundred hay. The soldiers stood in front of them and took their rifles ready. Let’s continue and sound the command Feuer!, after which 16 people will join the endless list of victims of Another World War. Ale one of the soldiers lowered his rifle. Vin went up to the officer and declared that we were not shooting: he was a soldier, not a cat. The officer reminded the soldiers about the oath and presented him with a choice: either the soldier will turn around and at the same time accept the order, or he will become completely condemned at once. A few minutes of discussion, and the decision has been made. The soldier put his rifle on the ground, straightened up to the Serbs who were sentenced to death and became the guard of them. The name of the soldier is Joseph Schultz.

The Germans were subjected to whatever kind of people they could be. Member of the Bundestag Wilderich Freiherr Ostmann von der Ley, having seen the photograph, casually stated that the photograph effectively contains images of Joseph Schultz - who served as a sergeant of the division commander Friedrich Stahl, which was given by his son, which in the military archives of Freiburg.

Who are the German soldiers from the village who are paying their respects at the grave?

2. Lessons from Karl Betke’s article “The German anti-Hitler operation in (excessive) Yugoslavia”:
The most extravagant stories in the history of the German-Yugoslav warships are dedicated to the justice of Corporal Joseph Schulz from Wuppertal, who, on 20 June 1941, never saw the fate of his brothers or 16 partisans at the Smederivka Palace, as a result of which he himself suffered. The story was put under doubt (H. Lichtenstein, A. Rückerl, F. Stahl), because Examinations of the pre-slednitsky center in Ludwigsburg and the Freiburg military archive confirm that Schultz died the day before, already on the night of the 20th century, information about his death was taken away from the army commands, the former sent a photograph of the deceased. That’s why it’s firmly stated that on the right of Schultz we’ll show the butt of the so-called. Nevikonannya (non-violation of malicious orders) is not violated, which is the result of legal prohibitions. Because in Yugoslavia, just like among Germans, who value friendship with Yugoslavia and the Serbs, the myth about Schulz has many admirers - which contributes to his popularity. Sings Antonya Iskaovich, who witnessed the shooting in Palanza and described him in the account “Satovi”, but he will not remember the German soldier, but only 16 partisans who were shot. In addition, he confirms that, based on photographs of the shooting at the exhibition, organized by the commission for the investigation of military atrocities back in 1945 in Belgrade.
According to the testimony of the director of the factory (which also served as a barracks), in the territory where the shooting was carried out, Caslav Vlajic, after the war under the hour of exhumation, where he was a visiting schoolboy, a German was found and sewn nails and buckles - obviously, there was a German soldier in the grave, a sign of being lost. The story of a soldier who stood up against his own people - a classic plot of the heroic epic - was commemorated on the monument erected in 1947, for which they Germanized the name of the Croatian soldier shot that day. Marcel Mezhich became Marcel Mazel - through foreign names they believed that there was no German approach. The story about the shot German began again in 1961 among the Yugoslav press, and at the same time, German magazines (Noi Ilustirte, in 1966 Rotsi Kvik) published photographs from the military wow archive. They depict the execution of the guards, which was carried out near the rural locality, on one of them you can imagine a “German soldier, whose military insignia is not identified.” Without a helmet and a belt, perhaps, with tied hands, it seems that he is going straight to the victims, so as to stand on a par with them. The magazines came back to readers asking: they didn’t have any idea about this. Plivka, according to the words of the soldier to the archive in Palanza, was captured by a local photographer, and after the division was transferred to a similar front, it was lost in Palanza. It’s cool that in the book about the history of Palanca, photographs were published, but the same word was not said about the story of Schultz.
Member of the Bundestag from the SDPN Ostman at the presentation of the magazine of combat actions of the 714th Infantry Division “recognized” the photo of the shooting at Palanka, and the shot of the dead Schultz. Ostman knew Schulz's brother Walter and organized his trip to Yugoslavia in 1972. Having become familiar with the details, Walter Schulz realized that it was his brother in the photograph. However, Schultz’s fighting comrades sang the Wuppertal Tageszeitung, which they saw in their eyes as Schultz died in a battle with the partisans (Heinz Ufer Rospov, who knew the seriously wounded Schultz in his vantage, and Chaplain Brown guessed about those who Shu lts buv pokhovany s vіyskovymi. The examination of the pre-slednitsky center in Ludwigsburg in 1972 clearly revealed the legend about the shooting. The director of the factory, Vlaich, who was dissing the German mine and distributing interviews to numerous snakes, also encouraging business contacts with the Germans. which companies, with the author and the author, confirmed that the promotion “bring Schultz” We also want to attract tourists. Today, the Serbian press reports that the story is a big mystery for everyone, just like before. Having said that, as an officer, he spoke maliciously and “in elevated tones” German, who protested without any signs of arrogance. Looking at the renewal of diplomatic notes, Schultz became victorious on both sides as a symbol of “another German”. In Yugoslavia, history, published in numerous publications and stories from a school teacher, dampened wartime anti-German protests, which were in no way consistent with the views of the younger generation and economic development them connections. Bonn near Schulz and Smederivska Palanki know their “good German”. Predrag Golubović screened the story of Schulz in 1972. The short film, filmed at the Zastava army film studio, was shown as a magazine in cinemas and was shown at international festivals in Oberhausen, Atlanta, Birmingham, etc. It’s great that the director creatively reworked the critics’ argument about daily shifts in the photo. The film gives them a theatrical look. Mira Aleshkovich wrote poems about the hero, but the intention was not to name a street in his honor. At the end of the seventies there was a scandal. When Mina Kovacevich created the figure of Schultz in 1978, local politicians and a number of veteran partisans protested. The litigation lasted until 1981 and ended with the death of the sculptor. Misteva publicly stated that the sculpture, which depicts a foreign soldier, especially a German, regardless of his heroism, does not fit into the official paradigm. Her colleagues in Belgrade supported Kovacevic, and when she went to the German embassy for help, Stern expressed respect for the “perseverance of comrades from the Serbian hinterland.”
NRF Ambassador Horst Grabert born 1981 Together with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Yugoslavia, Vrbovets went to the old monument to Vinka, after which he added to Genosher that all of Yugoslavia was “on Schultz’s side.” The investigation center near Ludwigsburg informed the German embassy about the rumored legends, Ale Grabert, appealing to Yankovic’s testimony and other evidence, making it clear that “they do not want to go against the local conflicts.” In 1997, Grabert once again turned to this history and called Schultz a “converted Catholic.” In Yugoslav newspapers after 1973, when journalists identified Schulz’s brother Walter, new details gradually emerged: the artistic talent of the murdered corporal, who later became a member of the secret anti-Hitler organization tsії. A few meters from the old monument, a new one was erected at the beginning of the 80s, on which the name of Schultz was added (and the name of the Croatian Mezhich was corrected). On June 20, 1997, the German Ambassador Gruber spoke in front of the monument and was shown on the TV tower. Over the past 40 years, Yugoslavia has written dozens of articles about Schultz, most of which about the arguments of the list of German historians can be guessed by a moment or not at all. The figure of Schultz has grown greatly in the collective knowledge of the Serbs, regardless of the veracity of the original history. For example, in 1999, at the hour of the demonstration in Vojvodina, the leader of the local social democrats, Canak, called on the Serbian police to inherit Joseph Schulz’s butt and switch to theirs.
According to the testimony of the director of the factory (which also served as a barracks), in the territory where the shooting was carried out, Caslav Vlajic, after the war under the hour of exhumation, where he was a visiting schoolboy, a German was found and sewn nails and buckles - obviously, there was a German soldier in the grave, a sign of being lost.
Who is this? A partisan wearing a German belt and boots?

Who wears German boots and a belt? One of the Partisans?
IMHO, in order to shoot a Wehrmacht soldier without punishing him, it was necessary to fold a bunch of papers and carry out a bunch of different bureaucratic procedures.
Don't let 1944 fall into such a cauldron, where embitterment, nervousness and hopelessness drive commanders to the extreme. 1941 rіk, Yugoslavia. The victorious soldier was punished by the military court in the military order, and it is unlikely that during that period of the war his comrades would shoot at him.

Did you serve with the Luftwaffe? rogue yaks..

In German historiography, the fall of Joseph Schulz is clearly perceived as the “myth of the good German” ( Guter-Deutscher-Mythos), which is a call from the majority of the German military servicemen during the Other World War. This is what is called the “legend about the whitewashing of the Wehrmacht” (

Guter-Deutscher-Mythos), which is a cry from the abundance of German military services during the Other World War. This is what is called the “legend about the whitewashing of the Wehrmacht” ( Legende von der sauberen Wehrmacht), saying that most of the soldiers of the Wehrmacht were not barbarians and sadists, and on their conscience there are no crooked reprisals against the army.
Military-historical scientific and research institute at Freiburg ( das Militärgeschichtliche Forschungsamt in Freiburg) back in the 1970s, a myth emerged about the humane German corporal. As the intelligence officers of this department have established, in their archives there is a certificate of the death of Joseph Schulz, who appears to have died in front of the firing squad and at the very hands of the Yugoslav partisans. More precisely, it happened about the 2nd year of that day when the shooting took place.
According to the thought of the German historian Karl Bethke ( Karl Bethke), which he found in his work “Revelation about the German support for Hitler in the former Yugoslavia” ( Das Bild vom deutschen Widerstand gegen Hitler im ehemaligen Jugoslawien), "an unexpectedly unexpected incident, so that a German soldier was shot, because his brothers were convinced of their fate in similar shootings." This is the case in Yugoslavia, but the outbreaks of violence were recorded in Belarus, where Wehrmacht officers did not want to act as carnivores of the Jewish population.

Press to open...

Whose name is it for the obelisk? Yugoslav partisan with German roots? They were lying... Partisan villagers from Glibinka with nicknames that were native to the Serbs.
I think so. And the Germans will not notice the presence of Schultz’s nickname on the memorial plaque...

Joseph Schulz(German: Josef Schulz (Schultz), Serbo-Croatian. Jozef ulc / Joseph Schultz; 1909, Wuppertal - 19 or 20 June 1941, Smederevska-Palanka) - German soldier, participant in the Other World War, Wehrmacht corporal. Apparently, he was shot in the Serbian village of Smederevska Palanka on June 20, 1941 for his participation in the war of the guarantors. Countries like Yugoslavia respect the anti-fascist hero

In German historiography on the right, Joseph Schulz (German: Der Fall Schulz) is interpreted as a myth.

Biography and characteristics

The eldest son of the family (there were three children in total). Father died in the hour of another battle, in the hour of the last. In the middle of the war, I started at the trade school in Wuppertal, working on window dressing, earning a few pennies for the family.

Bartender lives near the block.

Josef's colleagues respected him as a calm person who could create fun in any company. He was fiery, reckless and aggressive, and was often more gentle. Having played the piano, and also being a good artist, he miraculously produced reproductions of paintings by Dutch artists. The letters that Joseph wrote to his family and friends were not saved: during the bombing of the place, the apartment with all the lanes burned down. The middle lane is not devoid of leaves, but it costs over 200 grams.

The plot of the story

At the end of 1941, the German troops on the Gradishti mountain near the village of Vishivets defeated the Palanack partisan company. Near the Serbian village of Smederevska-Palanka, the Germans captured 16 Yugoslav partisans from the same company and sent them to the front - to the 5th Cavalry Regiment named after Queen Maria Karadjordovich. The military court tried 16 people before execution, and was sentenced to death for 19 years (according to other data - 20 years).

The same flock was chosen as the place for the martyrdom - the captives were placed with their backs to a stack of hay, and the partisans' eyes were blindfolded in front. However, according to a widespread legend, before the shooting itself, Joseph Schultz, who entered the shooting team’s warehouse, hesitantly threw the rifle to the ground and shouted:

I'm not shooting! These people are innocent!
Original text (in German) Ich schiee nicht! Diese Mnner sind unschuldig!

The commander of the firing squad, sensing this phrase, froze at the shot: the division soldier was inspired to obey the order. The decision was praised immensely - Schultz was recognized as a rebel, and for breaking the law the penalty could be execution. Virok vikono negaino. Josef was entrusted with the slaughter of the partisans.

Historians' assessments

The German historian Karl Bethke in 2002 calls Corporal Joseph Schulz the most important figure in the German-Yugoslav past. It means that this idea was put under doubt by a number of predecessors (Heiner Lichtenstein, Albert Rückerl, Friedrich Stahl), based on the examination of the Central Administration of Land Justice Departments The extermination of Nazi atrocities (Zentrale Stelle der Landesjustizver of the Federal Military Archive at Freiburg was confirmed, that J. Schultz died the day before the execution of the partisans. From that hour, the thought comes to light that Schultz’s right could be classified as a butt of extreme necessity in a stagnant state before a malicious order, or, in fact, a myth about Corporal Josef Schultz knows a lot of henchmen with top rank Yugoslavia. The historian explains the reason for this from the past achievements between Germany and Yugoslavia.

In 2011, the Swiss historian Andreas Ernst stated in his review of the book “The Hero’s Quest” that on the right Schulz’s story is not the same as the hero’s wicked one. and the butt of the super-sensitive interests of politics and justice in the “underground” "past." In Nimetchina, the legend about the “good soldier” blossomed more than a few times after her death. For a long time there was a lot of heat there, so as not to tell the truth. However, Serbia has preserved it to this day.

Memory

In Yugoslavia, the German soldier was actually crowned a national hero and a symbol of the anti-fascist support. In Serbia, two monuments were erected to him: one in the village of Lokve (dedicated to himself), and the other in the village of Smeredanska-Palanka, at the site of his death (dedicated to the 16 lost partisans). The partisans themselves opposed the erection of the monument to the Germans, and the writing of Mina Kovashevich, which supported the idea of erecting a monument, was completely destroyed. In 1981 and 1997, the post of Germany in Yugoslavia, Horst Grabert and Wilfried Gruber took part in memorial ceremonies: they paid tribute to the monuments to Joseph. In 1973, a small 13-episode film by Predrag Golubić “Josef Schulz” was shot about the villages. The film was based on archival footage of German military photographs and video chronicles.
