An Allied soldier lies dead on the beach of Dunkirk (1940)

Dead Allied soldier

A macabre atmosphere, which suggests an environment of the famous novels by Bram Stoker, or the funeral of a boss of Chicago 30s years. Instead, he was a RSI Paratrooper that served his country (probably not KIA, but killed by "bandits", the partisans, behind the lines) guarded by two Comrades. Note the camo suits. 1944-45. DVX

Catafalque

This is the soldier from the previous picture taken during the liberation of Paris. It is a still from a video. He has just been killed and the resistance are taking his weapon.
