Image talk:Anschlusstears.gif
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a butchered photo, I've seen copies of the original many times. It would be best to show the whole photo, as it clearly demonstrates the ambiguous reaction of the Austrian public (the woman to her right is bravely saluting and there is no weeping like the women pictured here)
Here is some commentary from the Sudetenland talk page:

- The standard cropped image can be found at the National Archives (#78). This webpage shows the original picture, along with other images of the annexation. Olessi 18:36, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

- I have a Time-Life source that, despite it being Time-Life, actually includes the entire photo. The woman to the right is actually on the left and depicted in full. Unfortunately, I am not in contact with a scanner or the book, nor would it be "legal" to post here. Still, I don't think it is scholarly to interpret the photo if it isn't even represented as its whole. I'm not impressed by the fact that it is National Archives, especially since they tampered with it, so I think we should try really hard to track down a usuable copy of the original. I'm still completely in awe with this:

- "The tragedy of this Sudeten woman, unable to conceal her misery as she dutifully salutes the triumphant Hitler, is the tragedy of the silent millions who have been `won over' to Hitlerism by the `everlasting use' of ruthless force."
