Pretty well dressed for a resident of the Warsaw in 1945 :) --Molobo 15:22, 22 March 2006 (UTC) I think we shouldn't take descriptions of photos made by Nazi or Soviet government. These two regimes are notorious for using propaganda and we can't be sure if the photo is true. --Molobo 15:24, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
- The only thing I can say is that the picture was ineed taken in Warsaw. The building in the background is the BGK bank, built in the 1930's. It survived the war and is still there, at the modern Rondo de Gaulle'a, at the crossing of Aleje Jerozolimskie and Nowy Świat. Check the modern view. //Halibutt 15:55, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
- I just noticed that the "civilian" on the right is wearing a M1930 Soviet leather coat, used by the tank troops of the RKKA and very similar to the NKVD coat. Funny, isn't it. //Halibutt 10:07, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- Not really, that's just your average Russian 'liberation' :> Veni, vici, manei... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 20:58, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
