M3 Grant/Lee, the tank that came before the M4 Sherman. They couldn't engineer a solution for the heavy main gun to get on the turret and they needed a tank for North Africa as quick as possible, so they just slapped it on the hull and called it a day as they moved on to the M4 Sherman.

Don't think so. Minimum height for US conscripts was 5'2. Guy on the right is probably a tall fella.

He looks like he's leaning forward a bit, but his proportions seem normal to me. Might just be the angle of the camera.

Also, gotta consider that the uniforms of the period are often a bit baggy.

Nowadays they don't have to do that. The dogs outrank the humans, so they can just give orders directly. o7

The man who took these pictures was an early innovator in color photography and patronized by the Tsar, so he had a lot of opportunity. Some very gorgeous work, I love it.

No soda or juice, so one supposes that was the primary non-water non-alcoholic drink.

I thought he had a mustache under the face shield, but it might be a reflection rather than transparency.

Your source kinda says the opposite of what your title says. Different name, was arrested this time for raping a kid, not sentenced for death but committed suicide and even showing that while “sodomy” was illegal you would not get the death penalty for it.

Chinese society towards homosexuality, it was concluded that the level of acceptance was high and discrimination It is not common. For example, Zhang Zaizhou's book "The Ambiguous Process" refined China's attitude towards homosexuality into the word "ambiguous". But this was not the case after 1949. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, homosexuality was regarded as a "feudal remnant" and was eradicated from China's public discourse space along with polygamy, prostitution and other unmarried and abnormal sexual behaviors. Records of homosexuality during the Mao era are sparse and fragmented. At the same time, relevant agencies also began to persecute anyone who participated in homosexual behavior. Participants in homosexual behavior were accused of sodomy or hooliganism. It is not uncommon to see situations similar to those of Chen Baoping, Zhu Shouqing, and Zhu Zhenhua in the files I have seen. Some people were shot for anal sex. Zhu Zhenhua, who is kneeling in the top picture, has a cross on his name. This cross may represent a personal insult to the prisoner, or another possibility is that the cross was placed on his name only when he was executed.
