Summary

Description

Deutsch: Der Fotograf Julien Bryan beschrieb die Szene wie folgt: "Als wir zu einem kleinen Feld am Stadtrand kamen, waren wir nur ein paar Minuten zu spät, um Zeuge eines tragischen Ereignisses zu werden, des unglaublichsten überhaupt. Sieben Frauen wollten Kartoffeln ausgraben. Es gab kein Mehl in ihrem Bezirk und sie suchten verzweifelt nach Nahrung. Plötzlich erschienen zwei deutsche Flugzeuge aus dem Nichts und warfen zwei Bomben auf ein nur zweihundert Meter entferntes Haus. Zwei Frauen im Haus fanden den Tod. Die Kartoffelernterinnen warfen sich flach auf den Boden in der Hoffnung, unentdeckt zu bleiben. Als die Flugzeuge fort waren, setzten sie ihre Arbeit fort. Sie brauchten das Essen. Aber die Nazi-Flieger waren noch nicht zufrieden mit ihrem Werk. Nach ein paar Minuten kamen sie zurück und fielen auf 60 Meter Höhe ab, wobei sie das Feld mit Maschinengewehrfeuer durchpflügten. Zwei der sieben Frauen starben; die anderen fünf schafften es irgendwie zu fliehen. [Quelle: Bryan, Julien: "Warsaw: 1939 Siege; 1959 Warsaw Revisited."]

English: Siege of Warsaw by German forces in September of 1939. A young boy sits next to the corpse of his mother who was killed when a German Luftwaffe airplane attacked them while they were digging for potatoes in a field near Jana Ostroroga Street in Warsaw.

Photographer Julien Bryan described the scene: "As we drove by a small field at the edge of town we were just a few minutes too late to witness a tragic event, the most incredible of all. Seven women had been digging potatoes in a field. There was no flour in their district, and they were desperate for food. Suddenly two German planes appeared from nowhere and dropped two bombs only two hundred yards away on a small home. Two women in the house were killed. The potato diggers dropped flat upon the ground, hoping to be unnoticed. After the bombers had gone, the women returned to their work. They had to have food.

But the Nazi fliers were not satisfied with their work. In a few minutes they came back and swooped down to within two hundred feet of the ground, this time raking the field with machine-gun fire. Two of the seven women were killed. The other five escaped somehow." [Source: Bryan, Julien. "Warsaw: 1939 Siege; 1959 Warsaw Revisited."]

Čeština: Fotograf Julien Brian popsal scénu:"Jak jsme jeli kolem malého pole na kraji městečka, jen několikaminutové zpoždění nám zabránilo stát se svědky tragické události, té nejneuvěřitelnější.

Sedm žen kopalo na poli brambory. Neměly žádnou mouku a zoufale potřebovaly jídlo. najednou se z ničeho nic vynořily dva Německé letouny a shodily dvě bomby na malý dům jen 200 yardů daleko. Dvě ženy v domě byly zabity. Kopáčky brambor zalehly a doufaly že si jich letadla nevšimla. Poté co bombardéry zmizely, ženy se vrátily ke své práci.Musely sehnat jídlo.

Ale nacističtí piloti nebyli spokojeni se svou prací. během pár minut se vrátily a kulometnou palbou zametly 200 stop pole. Dvě z těch sedmi žen byly při náletu zabity. Ostatním se nějak podařilo uprchnout.

Polski: Obrona Warszawy we wrześniu 1939 roku. Chłopiec siedzi na polu obok zwłok matki. Matka zginęła podczas kopania ziemniaków podczas ataku przez samolot niemiecki Luftwaffe. Fotograf Julien Bryan opisuje scenę: "Jechaliśmy przez małe pole na obrzeżach miasta, ale byliśmy tylko kilka minut za późno, aby być świadkiem tragicznego wypadku. Siedem kobiet kopało ziemniaki na polu ponieważ zabrakło mąki i nie miały co jeść. Nagle dwa samoloty niemieckie pojawiły się znikąd i zrzuciły dwie bomby na mały dom jakieś dwieście metrów dalej. Dwie kobiety w domu, zostały zabite. Kobiety na polu schowały się mając nadzieję ze nie zostaną zauważone. Gdy bombowce odleciały, kobiety wróciły do pracy, bo musiały znaleźć żywność. Ale hitlerowscy lotnicy nie byli zadowoleni ze swojej pracy. Po kilku minutach wrócili lecąc jakieś 60 metrów nad ziemią, grabiąc pole kulami karabinów maszynowych. Dwie z siedmiu kobiet zostały zabite a pozostałe pięć jakoś uciekły."[Źródło: Bryan, Julien. "Warsaw: 1939 Siege; 1959 Warsaw Revisited."]
