EDITORS COMMENTS
An unsettling glimpse into the tactics employed by German invaders during World War Two. This powerful print captures a scene in Trondheim, Norway, where Germans have strategically positioned their army huts around the Red Cross hospital in the Oya district. The hospital, marked by its prominent red cross on the roof, stands as a symbol of hope and compassion amidst the chaos of war. However, it becomes evident that these huts are not merely for shelter but serve a more sinister purpose - to shield themselves from RAF attacks. This calculated move reveals the ruthless nature of the German invaders who exploit humanitarian symbols for their own protection. The juxtaposition of these hidden army huts against the backdrop of a healthcare facility raises questions about ethics and morality during times of conflict. It serves as a stark reminder that even places meant to provide care and healing can become pawns in larger geopolitical games. This photograph is an important historical artifact from September 1941, shedding light on one small corner of World War Two's vast landscape. It invites us to reflect on how war distorts our perception of right and wrong and challenges us to ensure that such actions are never repeated.
