Categories: History

Tamas Konok Sr. is a Hungarian war correspondent who captured in his black-and-white and color photographs of 1942 the bend of the Don, its inhabitants and the life of the Hungarian soldiers.

The Hungarian photographer preferred the scenes of military battles to the surrounding landscapes and the daily life of people who, in one way or another, tried to survive in the war, whether they were soldiers, prisoners of war or civilians. Most of the photographs taken by Tamáš Konoka did not correspond in spirit to the propaganda goals of the time. No wonder his series, united under the title "We fight against them" with portraits of prisoners of war and civilians, was banned from display at the Budapest exhibition in 1943. The ideas of the leaders of the Hungarian army about the "enemies" were fundamentally different from those images that were captured in the photographs.
