My submission is maybe the most obvious, Soviet flag over the Reichstag
It can be anything, photograph, painting, meme, screenshot of CCTV footage of a CEO getting domed in the street, etc
maybe not so much inspiring but an amazing picture none the less
Not the best and most inspiring but still a very hard picture
What’s that second one ?
It’s an American pilot being captured in Vietnam
Ooh I see what that helmet is now. Very cool pic indeed

I took the picture… in Nicaragua, which had been ruled by the Somoza family since before World War II. The FSLN, popularly known as the Sandinistas, had opposed that regime since the early Sixties. … I made the image in question on July 16, 1979, the eve of the day that Somoza would flee Nicaragua forever. What is happening is anything but a “riot”. In fact, the man is throwing his bomb at a Somoza national guard garrison, one of the last such garrisons remaining in Somoza’s hands. It was an important moment in the history of Nicaragua—the Sandinistas would soon take power and hold that power for another decade—and this image ended up representing that moment for a long time to come

The second is absolutely iconic, the look on his face and the way his musculature is shown always reminds me slightly of Michelangelo’s David.
