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