Fotografía antigua Segunda Guerra Mundial La Guerra en el desierto


Fotografía que representa una imagen de la guerra en el desierto, posiblemente el frente Libio-Egipcio.
Un soldado de las tropas australianas limpia de polvo y suciedad el cañon de una batería movil.
Es una sencilla escena de paz, de aislamiento en la soledad del desierto donde no se ve el enemigo que, sin embargo, puede aparecer en cualquier momento y hay que estar preparado para responder de manera inmediata.

  • When war broke out in September 1939, just one Army photographer, Geoffrey Keating, and one cameraman, Harry Rignold, accompanied the British Expeditionary Force to France.
    On 24 October 1941, the Army agreed to form a corps of trained photographers and cameramen. The unit was called the Army Film and Photographic Unit (AFPU). AFPU photographers and cameramen were recruited from the ranks of the Army. Many had been press photographers or cameramen in peacetime. All recruits had to undergo compulsory training in battle photography at Pinewood Film Studios. Badges and permits were issued after attempts to confiscate film by overzealous British soldiers

Pictures of World War II
The Second World War was documented on a huge scale by thousands of photographers and artists who created millions of pictures. American military photographers representing all of the armed services covered the battlefronts around the world. Every activity of the war was depicted--training, combat, support services, and much more. On the home front, the many federal war agencies produced and collected pictures, posters, and cartoons on such subjects as war production, rationing, and civilian relocation
