9. Agony: Photo by Ralph Morse, 1944

Army medic George Lott, badly wounded in both arms grimaces as doctors mold a cast to his body in November of 1944. When Lott embarked on a 4,500-mile, seven-hospital journey of recovery, LIFE's Ralph Morse -- astonished by the high level of medical care wounded troops received both at the front and behind the lines -- traveled with him, chronicling Lott's odyssey in a revelatory story for the magazine. This photograph, which appeared as a full-page image in the January 29, 1945, issue of LIFE, gave millions of Americans a window into an aspect of the conflict that many had never fully grasped: the raw, relentless agony visited on the injured.

Agonie: Fotografie realizata de Ralph Morse, 1944

Doctorul in armata George Lott, ranit grav in ambele maini este infatisat facand grimase de durere in timp ce doctorii ii infasoara corpul in ghips in noiembrie 1944. Cand Lott a pornit pe un drum de 4.500 de mile, o calatorie prin 7 spitale de recuperare, Ralph Morse, fotograful revistei LIFE - uimit de nivelul ridicat al cadrelor medicale ranite care erau aduse atat din fata dar si din spatele liniilor - a calatorit cu el, facand cronica odiseei lui Lott intr-o poveste revelatoare pentru revista. Aceasta fotografie, care a aparut ca imagine pe o pagina intreaga in revista LIFE din 29 ianuarie 1945, a deschis milioanelor de americani o fereastra asupra unui aspect al conflictului asupra caruia multi nu banuisera pana atunci: agonia acerba si necrutatoare resimtita de cei raniti.
