From the testimony of the Belgian literature teacher Van der Essen at the Nuremberg trials:
“As for the first fact, that is, crimes committed by entire military formations, in order not to abuse the attention of the Tribunal, I will simply give a very typical example. This is an event that took place in Stavelot, where approximately 140 people, of whom there were 36 women and 22 children, the eldest of whom was 14 years old and the youngest 4 years old, were brutally murdered by German units belonging to the SS Panzer divisions.
These were the Hohenstaufen division and the SS guard division Adolf Hitler."

He had a gold NSDAP badge on his lapel, and a revolver lay nearby. (...) A watchman from the parliament building ran up:
It was he who did it, not the Russian soldiers. Came at 6 am. I saw him and his family from the basement window. Not a soul on the street. He moved the benches together, ordered the woman to sit down, and ordered the children to do the same. I didn't understand what he was going to do. And then he shot the mother and son. The girl resisted, then he laid her on a bench and also shot her. He stepped aside, looked at the result and shot himself.”

“The most famous photograph that no one has seen,” is what Associated Press photographer Richard Drew calls his photograph of one of the World Trade Center victims who jumped from a window to his death on September 11
“On that day, which, more than any other day in history, was captured on cameras and film,” Tom Junod later wrote in Esquire, “the only taboo, by common consent, was the pictures of people jumping out of windows.” Five years later, Richard Drew's Falling Man remains a terrible artifact of the day that should have changed everything, but didn't.

He came there with a reporter from the New York Times. Soon a car pulled up and several Buddhist monks got out. Among them is Thich Quang Duc, who sat in the lotus position with a box of matches in his hands, while the others began to pour gasoline on him. Thich Quang Duc struck a match and turned into a living torch. Unlike the crying crowd that saw him burn, he did not make a sound or move.

Looking around, he saw a little girl lying on the ground, apparently dying of hunger. He wanted to take a photo of her, but suddenly a vulture landed a few steps away.

After that, he waited another twenty minutes, hoping that the bird would spread its wings and give him the opportunity to get a better shot. But the damned bird did not move and, in the end, he spat and drove it away. Meanwhile, the girl apparently gained strength and walked - or rather crawled - further. And Kevin sat down near the tree and cried. He suddenly had a terrible desire to hug his daughter...

Patterson-Gimlin's 1967 documentary film of a female Bigfoot, the American Bigfoot, is still the only clear photographic evidence of the existence on earth of living relict hominids, referred to in hominology as "homins."
At the same time, there is a fair amount of fuzzy, blurry images that are not suitable for scientific analysis. This is a testament to how difficult these primates are to photograph. As a rule, meetings with them occur at dusk and unexpectedly, so that the shocked eyewitness at the most crucial moment usually forgets not only that he has a photo or video camera, but even a weapon.
Republican soldier Federico Borel García is depicted facing death.
The photo caused a huge shock in society. The situation is absolutely unique. During the entire attack, the photographer took only one photo, and he took it at random, without looking through the viewfinder, he did not look towards the “model” at all. And this is one of the best, one of his most famous photographs. It was thanks to this photograph that already in 1938 newspapers called 25-year-old Robert Capa “The Greatest War Photographer in the World.”
The photograph taken by reporter Alberto Korda at a rally in 1960, in which Che Guevara is also visible between a palm tree and someone's nose, claims to be the most circulated photograph in the history of photography.

The girl resisted, then he laid her on a bench and also shot her. He stepped aside, looked at the result and shot himself.”
Alfred Eisenstaedt (1898-1995), a photographer working for Life magazine, walked around the square photographing people kissing. He later recalled that he noticed a sailor who “rushed around the square and kissed indiscriminately all the women in a row: young and old, fat and thin. I watched, but there was no desire to take a photo. Suddenly he grabbed something white. I barely had time to raise the camera and take a photo of him kissing the nurse.”
For millions of Americans, this photograph, which Eisenstadt called “Unconditional Surrender,” became a symbol of the end of World War II.
