Fallen Aircrafts
Aircrafts were extremely vital to the war effort. Pictured here is just one of the 94,000 planes that the US military lost during the air fights of World War II. Germany, by comparison, lost 76,000 planes. Additionally, the Soviet Union lost over 106,000 planes. It seems that no one left this war completely unscathed. Much of these airplanes were recycled into other airplanes.
Many thousands of lives were lost in World War II. An American soldier was photographed here paying his respects to a fallen friend. This fellow soldier had been buried by the enemy, with only a name and a helmet to identify him. When soldiers recognized the display, it was promptly decorated to show their respect for their deceased brother in arms, duly missed by those left behind.
