...Capa's work is grittier and more spontaneous, his D-Day shots unmatchable. But to some minds Khaldei - although unschooled and dismissive of any claim to being an "artist" - may have had the aesthetic edge, with his intuitive sense of theatrical composition. It turns the silhouette of a patrol setting off in the cold midnight sun of the Barents Sea into a grim ballet of war.
