Is the reindeer image photoshopped?

It may have been 'Sovietshopped'. It was taken by Evgeni Khaldei, who was known for his shot of the red banner over the Reichstag.

He loved to take photos of war themes juxtaposed with natural or everyday human activities. This photo was a play on Operation Reindeer (Renntier), the codename for the German operation to take Murmansk.

It may not have been Sovietshopped, considering the number of stories I have heard about Reindeer running around during the battle.

The main player in the Battle of Britain, imo they won it !

On Kiska Island, after Allied troops had landed, this grave marker was discovered in a small graveyard amid the bombed-out ruins in August of 1943. The marker was made and placed by members of the occupying Japanese Army, after they had buried an American pilot who had crashed on the island. The marker reads: "Sleeping here, a brave air-hero who lost youth and happiness for his Mother land. July 25 - Nippon Army
