Regarded as the European version of  US Marines planting a flag on the island of Iwo Jima, this photograph of Soviets planting the Hammer and Sickle in Berlin, over the Reichstag, is an iconic image from WWII.  News comes today that the man at the center of the photograph has passed away at the age of 93.  For more information, visit The Guardian.
