1944 Dramatic and poignant photograph of a dead Japanese soldier who was burned to death by a flame thrower as he tried to escape an underground fox-hole or bunker. One of the more graphic images from WWII we have ever offered and it is a sad reminder of the horrors of WWII. From the photo album of a soldier, this is completely original to 1944 and offered here for the first time ever.
