Fotografía antigua Segunda Guerra Mundial. Foto agencia Fox

Las fotografías de agencia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial recogen también la situacion de la población civil, tanto de la que sufre directamente la guerra como de aquella que se encuentra en los centros o poblaciones alejados del frente de batalla.
Esta es una de las fotos que informan, documentan esta ultima situación. 
Se trata de una chica que esta preparando los tiestos necesarios para plantar flores. Es una actividad que, en cierto modo, nos aleja de la visión de la guerra, sino sabemos lo que representa por la información al dorso es normal pensar que es un dia cualquiera  en cualquier vivero de plantas.
