like a candle in the wind

On April 18, 1945, Capa entered Leipzig with the US First Army. He climbed to the top floor of an apartment buildg, 'to see if the last pic of crouching and advancing infantrymen could be the last pic of the war for my camera.' Moments after he entered the apartment, the young corporal manning a machine gun on the balcony was hit by a sniper's bullet and died almost instantly." - Taken from Robert Capa : The Definitive Collection
