I have just returned from Barcelona, where a retrospective of Capra’s work is displayed at the National museum. It is a stunning show. I did not know there was a controversy of the authenticity of the “falling soldier” when I viewed it. However, after having viewed that photograph and the other falling soldier in question, which is hung adjacently, I can only conclude that these are: 1) miracles of precise and incredibly lucky timing where two soldiers are caught in the exact instant of being shot, in the exact same location, in the same instant in time (the clouds and the related sunlight in the background are virtually identical)

No. 12 Comment: Luca Pagni: I worked with Capa though long after the No. 12 Spanish Civil War. Hansel Mieth is the only contemporary of Capa’s in above comments and the only contemporary photographer and what she said, according to above comment, sounds just like Capa talking. Seems to me this is the closest we can come to authenticity. Whelan of course was too young to have met Capa.

One everyone has seemed to have forgotten is the brilliance of the photo regardless of being staged or not but the pictures of the flag raising on Iwo Jima was the second one and staged but that is common knowledge. does this take away from the signifigance of the picture or the credibility no i think not so i wish people would let this issue be and leave it alone because there are more things we could put our minds and resources to…….

An very good example of shifting reality–something looks proved, then suddenly everything is turned upside down–in this case, the wrong location.
