EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determined and resilient spirit of Wanda, a young Polish woman, during the tumultuous 1940s. Dressed in a World War II uniform, Wanda proudly wears the blue and green peaked cap adorned with a white eagle badge, the national symbol of Poland. The uniform's collar and tie are smartly pressed, and the hem of her shirt peeks out from beneath the jacket, hinting at her feminine touch. Sitting on the grass, Wanda's posture exudes confidence and strength, her lips painted with a bold red lipstick. The image captures a moment of quiet reflection amidst the chaos of war. The presence of a bird with outstretched wings in the background adds a sense of hope and freedom, a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is still beauty to be found. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the countless young women who served in the armed forces during World War II, defying gender norms and bravely contributing to the war effort. Wanda's image stands as a testament to their courage and determination, a symbol of resilience and hope in the face of adversity.
