And more than likely that officer was a NKVD or KGB officer who "liberated" the watch from someone else who "liberated" it from a german.

The two soldiers on the 'staged' photo are most likely two scouts from the 756th Rifle Regiment, Michail Alekseyevich Jegorov (a Russian and the one with the two watches) and Meliton Varlamovich Kantariya (a Georgian, like Stalin, with the flag).

This photo was taken the day after the Russians first raised the flag above the Reichstag, the first flag was raised by Mikhail Minin. There is no photo of that.

All hail to the power of Google

Not truely on topic, but bit of trivia about the soldat pic. I remember comming across it a while back on a forum. Someone did some researching on it a while back as to the origins of the picture, and why a german soldier was happy and smiling near the end of the war.
Apparently, he belonged to an SS Panzergrenadier unit that had just ambushed an american column in the ardennes and they were looting it. The fellow was alive a few years ago but wanted to be anonymous.
Heres a few of the real pics.
This is the original

Is he holding a 1911?
