A photo story that influenced World War II.

Churchill served as British Prime Minister twice from 1940 to 1945 and195 to 1955, and was regarded as one of the most important political leaders in the 20th century. His speech during World War II injected strong spiritual inspiration into the British people who were about to be wiped out by fascism, improved the morale of the anti-fascist people in Europe and led the British people. In fact, in addition to Churchill's inspiring speech, the following famous Churchill image has magical influence.

194 1 12.30 During World War II, Churchill, who was 67 years old, gave a speech at the Canadian House of Representatives in Ottawa at the invitation of Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie. At that time, Churchill was nearly seventy years old, but his language fighting power and strong willpower remained undiminished. World War II entered a critical stage, only half a year before the turning point of Stalingrad. At that time, Europe urgently needed an influential iron fist to boost the morale of European anti-fascist soldiers and civilians, change the battlefield pattern and end World War II as soon as possible. Such an important person, such an important time and such an important speech made the then Canadian Prime Minister feel that it was necessary to take some photos of Churchill and keep this crucial moment in history as a souvenir. So I asked yousuf karsh, a Canadian national treasure portrait master with the city of Rembrandt in photography, to get the mirror. However, the Canadian government did not formally inform Churchill of this photo arrangement. Cash was only 33 years old. The Prime Minister arranged for him to take photos of Churchill after his speech. Cash went to the conference room, removed all the chairs, chairs and other furniture, set up his 8* 10 large-format camera, set up six floodlights, two spotlights and some background lights, and waited patiently for Churchill's arrival when everything was ready.

When Churchill finished his speech, Mackenzie took him to this room. Churchill was surprised when he saw a room full of lights and cameras. What is this? Nobody asked me to take pictures! Mackenzie was immediately embarrassed. Cash, who has rich experience in portrait shooting and is smart and keen, immediately stepped forward and said very sincerely, "Sir, I hope to take pictures of you at this historical moment." Churchill, think about it, it should be nothing! So he gently lit a cigar made in Cuba and said, OK! You can take pictures, but I'll only give you two minutes. When the Prime Minister saw Churchill's smile, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled by the way, and the embarrassing atmosphere at that time was resolved. Cash stood Churchill in the light and took out an ashtray to signal him to put down his cigar, but Churchill was a cigar fan and never left his hand. Churchill calmly continued to smoke his cigar, ignoring Cash's signal. Time is pressing, and the two-minute shooting time has passed by one minute. At this moment, Cash rushed directly to Churchill in a hurry, said he was sorry, and then directly took the cigar in Churchill's hand. Churchill was angered by Cash's sudden rudeness. He straightened up, glared and looked at Kashi angrily, as if ready to kill Kashgar. At this critical moment, Cash quickly pressed up. At this time, Churchill immediately realized that his state was very strict, as if he had fallen into the trap of cash design. He immediately changed his angry expression, turned anger into small anger, praised the "bold" photographer again and again, and said that what you paid was a roaring lion!

Cash can smoke cigars and take pictures at the same time, because Cash uses wired release to shoot. He has a steam-driven cable releaser in his mobile phone, which is several meters long. So we can know that we must have prepared cash when we shot Churchill. The picture in our mind should be like this. He must have grabbed the cable release in one hand and rushed to Churchill to grab a cigar. At the same time, he pressed the shutter at the moment when Churchill broke out, freezing what Bresson called the decisive moment. This photo became one of the most exposed photos during World War II. His expression and action of glaring at him greatly inspired the fighting spirit of anti-fascist struggle in all parts of Europe. It is said that allied soldiers at that time sent a small picture of angry Churchill to boost morale before the battle. There are also rumors that allied fighters left this small picture of Churchill on German positions to weaken their morale. This photo is to boost the morale of the allies, but it is to scare them and hurt the morale of the enemy. This reminds me that his magic skill is comparable to Shi Tian Zhong Kui's, and he comforts himself with his horror expression spells to scare away monsters. It is also said that it is because of this powerful and personalized photo that the Germans realized that the opponent was a formidable and daunting figure, which made the Germans afraid to attack the British. Just like this, after Dunkirk's retreat, the whole European continent was in a state of panic, anxiety and panic, and Hitler had a tendency to occupy the whole of Europe. In view of this, the deterrent effect of this photo and Churchill's public speech reduced the pessimism of the entire allied forces, greatly improved morale, accelerated the process of the European battlefield in World War II, indirectly cooperated with the opening of the second battlefield in Europe, and promoted the rapid arrival of the great turning point in the Battle of Stalingrad. From this perspective, a photo can be as effective as an army.

After the war, on May 1945, Life magazine in the United States took the angry Churchill as the cover, recalling Churchill's great achievements during World War II, and the US Postal Service even turned it into a stamp. 20 16 The portrait of Churchill on the latest plastic in Britain is impressive.

After the end of World War II, the bloody prime minister thought that Britain could not function without him, so the stubborn old man worked until he was 80 years old and didn't want to retire at all. He didn't step down as British Prime Minister until he was 8 1 year old. Still smoking cigars one after another, he walked out of Downing Street and waved his famous "V" sign to the public. And this "V" gesture is also his trademark gesture. He also sold cute scissors from time to time and became the originator of scissors. Later, he changed a large number of cute girls who love to take selfies in China. Angry Churchill influenced World War II in Europe and brought iron and blood will. Scissorhands have influenced the cute girl's self-portrait and selling cute pose, bringing cuteness!
