The Animals of Berlin Zoo, 1945
The challenging circumstances of World War II impacted not only humans but also animals. Among them were the creatures that had been brought to Europe before the war started. In this photo, a civilian can be seen taking care of an unusual-looking bird from Berlin Zoo. This bird was just one of many animals that civilians had to look after as Soviet troops approached Berlin in 1945.
Imagine the challenge of using the restroom with such a peculiar creature around!
