EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the quiet aftermath of the German army's capture of Bucharest, Romania's capital city, during the First World War. Circa 1916, the scene on the cobblestone street is one of both military occupation and daily life. German soldiers, some with rifles slung over their shoulders, stand guard at corners and in front of buildings adorned with the swastika flag. The city's Romanian residents continue their routines, with civilians seen going about their business, children playing, and vendors selling goods from carts. The signs of war are present, however, with the remnants of destroyed buildings and the desolate, empty streets adding to the sense of disruption. The once grand architecture of the city is now marred by the harsh realities of war. The scene is a poignant reminder of the impact of the Great War on civilians and the occupation of their cities by foreign forces.
