According to his daughter, Baltermants was not responsible for the publication of the image in question. One of his photographs of German prisoners of war, taken in Moscow, was substituted for his image of soldiers in Stalingrad at the last minute without his knowledge, and included a caption about Soviet military successes. The error was immediately noticed upon publication, and Baltermants was blamed for fabricating information about military operations. (V. T. Stigneev, Vek Fotografii: Ocherki Istorii Otechestvennoi Fotografii 1894-1994.)
