Heinrich Himmler looks at a young Soviet prisoner of war during an official visit to Shirokaya Street Concentration Camp in Belarus on August 15, 1941. You had to be a hard man to look Himmler in the face like that. This is standing for what's right, this is a single man who, after losing so much, stands up and stares Himmler himself.

That’s a stare of a man with nothing to lose

He knew that he and his fellow POWs were going to be starved, most likely to death, that was pretty much protocol with Soviet POWs. That stare he’s giving Himmler seems to be an acknowledgment and defiance of that.
What the fuck is this title
Almost three million Soviet prisoners of war died in German captivity in the first eight months of the war.
