Captured on the 15th of August 1940 during the tumultuous years of World War II, this image encapsulates both compassion and humanity amidst the chaos of war. The photograph showcases a scene filled with bravery and selflessness. Here, an injured German airman is being tenderly carried by a group of dedicated individuals towards an awaiting ambulance.
