  • Robert Capa's 1936 photograph Loyalist Militiaman at the Moment of Death was hit with a lot of controversy over weather it was real or staged.
  • The allegation had first surfaced in 1975, in a book by Phillip Knightley, a British journalist and historian, about how war correspondents — ever since the beginning of the profession, during the Crimean War of the 1850s — had often distorted the truth.
  • The Falling Soldier was first published in the September 23, 1936, issue of the French magazine Vu (below), where it was reproduced with another, similar picture on the same page.
