“It tells of how Khaldei flew to Moscow that very night after taking the photograph. When the image appeared in the magazineOgonjok on May 13, 1945 one detail had already been changed. In reality the soldier who is supporting his comrade with the flag had a watch on each wrist. The Soviet soldiers had looted their way through Berlin when they arrived. Khaldei admitted later that he had scratched out the watch on the man’s right arm in one of the negatives using a needle.” more@spiegel.de
