The X-24 shots that were banned in the Soviet Union

During the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 on the Eastern Front worked many foreign correspondents. We must pay tribute to the courage of those who did not leave the office and perform their duties, despite the risk of never returning home. The truly devoted to their work, journalists, especially photographers, managed to get into the center of events and get out of there alive. With them they brought a very valuable staff, who later became one of the few sources of knowledge about the tragic events of that time. These pictures are valuable as a reliable source of information, as in the days of the Soviet Union acted news propaganda, and many of them were not allowed to spread.
