Ungarn 1956. Aufstand, Revolution und Freiheitskampf in einem geteilten Europa, Innsbruck 2015, p. 147. Austrian photojournalist Erich Lessing, full Magnum member since 1951, worked in the post-war years as one of the few Western reporters in the countries of the so-called Eastern Bloc. When the Hungarian Revolution rose, he was on site and became internationally known with his photographs. After the fighting, the Russians left thousands of their dead behind, which the Hungarians sprinkled with lime to disinfect them, as happened to this Soviet tank officer. Der österreichische Fotojournalist Erich Lessing, seit 1951 Vollmitglied bei Magnum, arbeitete in den Nachkriegsjahren als einer von wenigen westlichen Reportern in den Ländern des sogenannten Ostblocks. Als die ungarische Revolution ausbrach, war er vor Ort und wurde mit seinen Fotos international bekannt. Nach den Kämpfen ließen die Russen Tausende ihrer Gefallenen zurück, die von den Ungarn zur Desinfektion mit Kalk bestreut wurden, wie auch dieser sowjetische Panzeroffizier.

Erich Lessing, der vor allem für Reportagen bekannt ist, die die kollektive Erinnerung an die politische Geschichte der Nachkriegszeit prägten, dokumentierte im Auftrag von Magnum auch die Dreharbeiten für die Schluss-Szenen von John Hustons Verfilmung von „Moby Dick“. Die Aufnahme zeigt die Szene, in der sich Kapitän Ahab (Gregory Peck) in seinem Kampf mit dem weißen Wal in den Seilen seiner Harpune verheddert und beim Abtauchen des Tieres ertrinkt. Beim Wiederauftauchen winkt sein loser rechter Arm die restliche Mannschaft scheinbar heran. Die gespenstische Wirkung der Szene wurde durch Wasserfontänen, die zusätzlich zum Wellengang ins Set gespritzt wurden, weiter dramatisiert. Erich Lessing, best known for reportage shaping the collective memory of post-war political history, was also commissioned by Magnum to document the filming of the final scenes of John Huston's adaptation of “Moby Dick”. The shot shows the scene in which Captain Ahab (Gregory Peck) gets tangled in the ropes of his harpoon in his fight with the white whale and drowns as the animal dives. On resurfacing, his loose right arm seemingly beckons the rest of the crew. The spooky effect of the scene was further dramatised by water fountains splashed into the set in addition to the swell.
