Default Staged?

I've seen #41 (Nebelwerfer) in different publications describing the location from Normandy to Stalingrad.
This obviosly staged photo reminds me of how careful one should be when viewing photo records.
I think there is a value to such photos in that they set a mood or tell a tale, as long as we recognize that it's a tall tale.

i think what makes the photos so interesting is the text that goes with each one it really brings them to life and let's you know the tale behind each one which adds a personal touch.
the dead italians blown to pieces with their ammo convoy really brought home what wars are all about, poor buggars.
