I hunt fake history and correct it, but also post amazing real history stuff. Rude, obscene, vulgar, racist people who can't act like grown-ups get blocked.
The past.

I'm getting a lot of questions about these photos, so here's what I've found;
The photos show Евгений Степанович Кобытев (Evgeny Stepanovich Kobytev) and yes, it's the same man in both photos and yes, before and after his experiences during WW2.
But there's more.

Yes but...
These bullets did collide but not mid-air as is sometimes suggested.
The one on the left was probably never fired, it has no "rifling" marks.
So it was probably stationary, perhaps carried in a clip, bandolier or just in an ammo crate, when it was struck.
Not uncommon

So when his photos are shared and we're told they show the face of a soldier before and during the war, it's a bit of an understatement.
It's the face of a soldier before and after war but also after the unimaginable horrors of a concentration camp.

Nobody knows everything, even people on the internet can be mistaken.
On top of that our ideas and knowledge of the past changes regularly.
If you have doubts about something, do your own research, check several sources, never trust anyone blindly, and yes, that includes me.

After the war he became an art teacher again.
Like for most who suffered as he did, the rest of his life was impacted by the war.
He had nightmares, waking up screaming in the night.
But his art helped him and he eventually made a book about his experiences.
