This anonymous photograph, taken in 1938, captures a moment during the Second Sino-Japanese War. It shows Dutch filmmaker Joris Ivens, photographer John Fernhout, and American war correspondent Robert Capa posing with weapons alongside two Chinese soldiers. The image is a poignant reminder of the international involvement in this conflict, as well as the courage and determination of those fighting against Japanese aggression.
