This photo was taken right after the Soviets had taken Berlin to end the war in Germany. The image shows clearly that the Soviets are the victors and that the German empire has been defeated. The thing that is the most striking about this photograph is that the soldier holding the flag is at the highest point of the building, I feel like this conveys power and is very defiant. The many buildings that are below this soldier imply the height is great. This also says that he wants the whole world to know about the surrender of the Germans. This photo is defiantly a powerful image that shows the power of the situation at hand.
