There’s a picture showing VJ Day, but the set is purported to be from January of 44, a full 20 months before the end of the war. Is there an error in dating, or did he hold onto a roll of film for that long? Reply cfinke Author January 21, 2020 at 11:23 am · Edit The photo sets are dated using the date of the first photo in the set (most of which are approximate), so that explains why the set is labeled as being from January 1944. The VJ Day photo itself is dated August 14, 1945 (https://davidtewes.com/1944/01/01/attu-alaska/1945-08-14-attu-alaska-its-over-vj-day/) Reply Leave a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
