Because it means destruction
Of innocent lives"

kyricom: Get ready for 1,000 entries of babies and little kids ( 5 years and 2634 days ago )
kyricom: Oh yeah, and animals. Why would an animal sitting there be "innocent?" ( 5 years and 2634 days ago )
SohCahToa: Animals are innocent for the same reason kids are. They are free from moral wrong as they just follow there instincts. ( 5 years and 2633 days ago )
Contest Moderator: kyricom, there isn't much apart from animals and small children that are innocent.
If somebody can come up with something else, I'd be very happy ( 5 years and 2632 days ago )

William: I couldn't agree more with SohCahtoa and the moderator. ( 5 years and 2631 days ago )
MnMCarta: If anyone needs a pic of me for this contest just let me know lol ( 5 years and 2630 days ago )
kyricom: It's pretty sad that folks think the ONLY things that could connote innocence are babies or animals. Why not just call it a "kids and animals" theme? And, of course animals are neither innocent nor guilty... you're anthropomorphising. Oh well... I like kids. There are some nice shots here ( 5 years and 2628 days ago )
MnMCarta: um... Kyricom, I did say I would give someone a pic of me for the contest! LOL ( 5 years and 2627 days ago )

What an emotional photograph, it makes you think.
wouldnt call them innocent if they were in a war, probably on my own with that school of thinking, but its a great photo anyway
Lavenderflower, they were not in the war by their own choosing, civilians taken prisoners by the Nazi.
I think this is a great shot for this theme. Definitely shows it can be done without kids or animals. Yes, for most of those people, their only crime would have been to fit into one of the many categories the Nazis didn't like. It wouldn't have been hard... if you were an artist, a gypsy, the wrong nationality, an intellectual, a true patriot, the wrong religion, and many more, you could have easily had your picture on that wall.
Victim's of war are not aggressors...not solders...lavenderflower23, think before you comment...these people did not by all means cause a war or fight in it for whatever reason, they were definitely "INNOCENT" civilians...
I cannot imagine what these people went through, I was a voluntary combatant in a time of war, but, that was my choice...
Are we sure these are victims, the photos say 'LEUTNANT' and 'OBERLEUTNANT', perhaps these are German military??
when it comes to war I like to think everyone is a victim in the end even the agressors.. they just didnt knew it before it all started and went wrong...
Oberleutnant is a junior officer rank in the militaries of Germany, Switzerland and Austria. In the German Army
OK let me try to explain this:
The people on the photos where Soviet civilians (look at the names, they are for sure not German), they where Soviet civilians forced into the Soviet army at the end of WW2, which IMHO makes them not soldiers by choice but innocent victims (see the high number of women in this photo).
The German text on the photos is because this photo is taken on a permanent exhibition in Bergen-Belsen a former Nazi concentration camp in Germany which these days is a memorial for the people killed there.
