The Falling Soldier, 1936. The Falling Soldier became famous for the way it seems to capture, with terrifying immediacy, the moment when a bullet fatally strikes a Spanish Loyalist militiaman; later, it became famous for allegations that the photograph was âfaked,â or at least (though this was common practice at the time) staged.
Some writers have claimed that both The Falling Soldier and the photograph published in Vu directly below it â showing a man in a further state of collapse â show the same man. Careful examination, however, leaves no doubt that they show two different men who fell on almost precisely the same spot.
