Are we sure this is one of the genuine images of the two together? Stalin was notorious for using propaganda that heavily exaggerated his connection to Lenin, including falsifying images.

I think you listed them in reverse order. That's Lenin on the right.

proudnazihater1 points Oct 17,2018, 1:13amI really would like to see a dramatic show about Trotsky, Lenin and stalin. I’m not really a big fan of the Bolsheviks but I can never bring myself to hate stalin and the Bolsheviks because they defeated the Nazis.
and I hate Nazis.

Hello everyone, my apologies for the poor quality image and any subreddit rules I may have violated, but I thought I'd share this picture of my great uncle and a few of his mates on V-E Day. He was a portable power generator operator with the 153rd Armored Signal Company of the 13th Armored Division and took part in the Ruhr Pocket operation (1-18 April 1945). He was deployed in Europe from approximately January to July 1945. The Ruhr Pocket operation saw the capture of about 317,000 German soldiers, and he brought back a few souvenirs that I could share, perhaps on a different subreddit. According to his unit's official history, the 153rd ASC was based in Tann, Germany on V-E Day. He brought back several postcards that have descriptions and images from the 13th Armored Division's deployment (apologies if linking to them violates subreddit rules), so here is a link to those plus a couple more pictures of his time overseas: https://imgur.com/a/2G3QwF4

That looks like a bomb crater rather than a fox hole.

Hope that guy made it home to whoever is in those letters.
Based on a cursory google search, this would likely be after the actual taking of Iwo Jima.
5 week battle. Approx 6k Americans killed, 26k injured
17k - 18k Japanese “killed or missing” and several thousand kept hiding on the island after the occupation in late March.
