NO.
The militiaman Federico Borrell died in the air, the photographer, Robert Capa, hid in the trenches without knowing he had just done the most famous photo of the Civil War and again shortly after to lift, risking skin, portrait another anarchist who also died in the same spot a minute later.Photography Borrell, known since then as the fallen soldier, he was destined to become an icon of the Civil War and any war thanks to its unique symbolic power. Also dragging the doubt to have been distorted due to, among other things, their strange and visceral perfection, his unprecedented opportunity to portray the moment of death of soldier in a sunny Spanish páramo.
