EDITORS COMMENTS
A glimpse into the hidden remnants of war: A German petrol dump discovered deep within the dense Forest de Evreux near the majestic River Seine in Northern France. This haunting photograph captures a moment frozen in time, taken during August 1944 amidst the ongoing fierce battles following the historic D-Day landings. As Allied Forces relentlessly pushed forward in their determined advance through Normandy, this abandoned cache served as a stark reminder of the immense military machinery that once occupied these lands. The image reveals rows upon rows of ammunition crates and supplies, meticulously organized to sustain an army on its relentless quest for victory. The atmosphere surrounding this forgotten fuel depot is laden with history and echoes of past struggles. It stands as a testament to both human resilience and devastating destruction witnessed during World War Two. Soldiers who fought bravely against tyranny relied on such vital resources to continue their valiant efforts. Esten's powerful lens has captured not only physical evidence but also emotions embedded within these silent woods; fear, determination, sacrifice. This print serves as a poignant reminder of those who fought selflessly for freedom and peace. Let us remember this historical relic not merely as an artifact from our past but rather as a symbol of courage and unity that paved the way towards liberation.
