Jello in the pit. (Eastern Front outdoor punk rock festival in Berkeley, 1981) // Steve Harlow
The best thing about Biafra was that he was a fan.
This shot illustrates the more friendly nature of the pit at Eastern Front. Note that Jello's wearing aviator shades, which would be dangerous if it was a violent pit. Also the foreground guy in the black jacket holding a cigarette. At this point, in this area, it was casual.

With the Armistice in negotiation, the conditions of the agreement demanded the entire German U-Boat fleet be surrendered and confiscated near the Orkney Islands. German admiral Ludwig von Reuter, who refused to let his ships become the spoils of war, ordered his crews to open seacocks, torpedo tubes and portholes on the ships to flood them, hoist their flags of the Imperial German Navy, and sink them off the coast of Scotland. It was the single greatest loss of warships in history, and the nine German sailors killed that day were the last to die during World War One. The final peace treaty was signed just a week later.

THE COMPOSITE PHOTOGRAPHY OF THE EASTERN FRONT -- MAN VERSUS NATURE.
PIC INFO: Resolution at 1600x1067 -- Spotlight on a composite photograph titled "Reindeer Yasha beyond the Arctic Circle," World War II, Murmansk Area, USSR, c. 1941. 📸: Yevgeny Khaldei.
MINI OVERVIEW: "World War II planes bomb a hillside while a shellshocked reindeer looks on. The stark interface between the killing machines of man and the natural grandeur and beauty of the reindeer was not "natural."
Yevgeny Khaldei, the famous Soviet photographer who took this photo, frequently staged or manipulated his photos to (as he defended the practice) enhance and strengthen the “truth” of the visual moment."
-- RARE HISTORICAL PHOTOS, "Reindeer in Murmansk," 1941

I have very specific feelings about The Slaughter and also the Eastern Front, so here's my OC, Natali, as an Avatar. The only ethical Avatar is the one who feeds off murdering nazis.
