Yeah. Even the smell would start to unnerve you, just a strong smell of death in the air way before you got close enough to see or hear it. I agree, I think if they're smiling like that they're pretty far back from the front.
I figure there’s also a decent chance they were told to smile by the photographer for propaganda purposes, although their smiles aren’t looking particularly forced.
Yeah, could be. The girl in the back's smile looks a little fake-y, too. Look at the eyes.
