Those are really really great photos. I'm surprised he was able to get such good shots while out in the chaotic field.

it would be cool to see the photos from the other side. I just had an order to scan an album from a Nazi soldier. Gives an interesting perspective.

The bad thing about wars is that both sides always think they're right...
There was a memorable scene in Jim Henson's Dinosaurs sitcom that drives the point quite well.

Interesting you should mention that. Unfortunately, this is more about a couple controversies surrounding the work (manipulations, and who gets credit for discovering the photos) than actually showing photos.
