Object history
  • 1942: The photograph was mailed from the Eastern Front by a German soldier and intercepted at the Warsaw post office by members of underground the Polish resistance, the Home Army. The interception was a part of well organized effort to collect intelligence from private letters from East Front. The photograph was sent to Foto-Ris, a cell responsible for documenting Nazi war crimes for the Polish government-in-exile, which included among others 16 years old Jerzy Tomaszewski.[4] The photograph was copied and original preserved with other Foto-Ris records.
  • 1959: While working as one of editors of multilingual "1939-1945. We have not forgotten" book[5][3][2] Jerzy Tomaszewski included many of his photographs from Warsaw Uprising and Foto-Ris archive, including this photograph, portion of which was on the front cover.
  • 1962: On January 26, 1962, at the height of the Cold War the Deutsche Soldaten Zeitung (German Soldier' Daily), a German newspaper, printed an article by Professor Otto Croy claiming the photograph to be a Russian forgery. The main allegations were that the soldier in the photo did not use regular German uniform or weapon[2], also it was claimed that the scene did not resemble a German killing: well-organised, preprepared grave and naked victims.[6]
  • 1962: On February 25, 1962, Jerzy Tomaszewski and fellow editor Tadeusz Mazur, responded in Polish magazine Świat by publishing a second image from the set. It showed five armed men, four in uniform and one dressed as a civilian – standing looking towards the camera behind a number of bodies on the ground. The flat barren landscape is identical to that featured in the first photograph. One of the uniformed men, with a weapon slung around his neck, looks like the man pointing the gun at the woman and the child. On the back of the photograph, in the same handwriting as the first, is written: Ukraine 1942.[2]
  • 1964: Der Spiegel, popular German weekly (Nr. 49/1964) published the photograph along with comments by readers claiming it to be a fake.[3]
  • 1965, Kurt Vieweg wrote to Der Spiegel and stated that the uniform did resemble those worn by members of the Einsatzgruppen, a formation to which he had belonged in Norway.[2]
