  1. Guys, this photo was a staged one. The ‘milk man’ is an assistant of the photographer. Doesn’t diminish the hard as f*** attitute of the British during the Blitz ánd the fact that thousands of Londoners did continue their daily life while bombs were falling and buildings were burning (the coat seems to be borrowed from a real milk man walking in the area) but thought you should know. Brilliant piece of propaganda photography though.
