这个照片当年被登在德国家庭杂志上 (Die Woche), 很温馨的杂志风格主题,
题目就是, Galicia的茶馆女服务员热情的款待我们的士兵喝茶,
是不是很温馨, 而且完全属于家庭杂志的风格.
但是杂志编辑没有弄明白, 在东线, teahouse 就是青楼的意思,
这个纯洁的德国编辑字面理解, 还以为是喝茶的地方。
而且没有想想,这么破的地方为什么需要这么多女服务员招揽客人喝茶?
后来这张照片惹起了一些德国妇女的气愤.
This photo appeared, by mistake no doubt, in a German family newsmagazine called Die Woche (The Week). The caption announces the building as a "teahouse" in the Galician city of Lida, whose friendly attendants warmly welcome our soldiers. Upon a second look, there seem to be quite a number of young waitresses for such a rundown-looking establishment. Besides, on the Eastern Front, coffee or tea houses were virtually synonymous with brothels. The photo editor was either quite naive to let this photo appear in a family magazine or else having a private joke. In any case, it is one of the very few photos of a brothel ever to appear in print in the regular media during the war.
