I don't care how many journalistic sycophants find proof 60 years after the fact. :-)<<< Walt I agree with you having pretty well read everything written about him over the years it's one of those "creative war story moments" that helped make him the legend he's known as. And yes he earned it with his undying bravado. Not saying he didn't get into some crazy war scene situations but the "just as he was hit soldier" has created so many questions and various versions of when and how it was taken it's a tough call to believe it's the absolute truth. Hey it may well be the absolute moment of truth and good on him for a great photograph. Although I doubt we'll ever know the truth. ted -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Walt Johnson Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2008 1:42 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Capa or here we go again Ted Ted Grant wrote: > A very interesting discovery indeed.
