- Support -- Price Zero (talk) 08:04, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
- Support Image quality leaves much to be desired, even considering the age. But both the historical significance and the visual impact wow me more than enough. In case Andersonville doesn't ring a bell, which is very likely unless you're American, you should read up on the highly interesting subject --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 12:22, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
- Support Well restaured, maybe a scan from the film should be better if it exist of course. We can't ask more of this historic picture. It was difficult see this picture. --The Photographer 12:57, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
- Comment film?! ;-) --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 13:40, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
- "Negative" is the right term :-) --The Photographer 14:42, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
- possibly even "positive" in this case --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 16:19, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

- Support as an American who didn't need it explained. An important historical document of an early instance of a war crime that became all too common in the next century. Daniel Case (talk) 14:27, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
- Support Daphne Lantier 17:00, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

- Support Value mitigates technical issues. A very strong picture. I'm happy to admit I had not heard of Andersonville before, and the picture made me curious to read about it. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:15, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
- Support per others. The picture reminds me of photos of survivors of Nazi concentration camps and is very painful to view. That's why it should be featured. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:48, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
- Neutral - Impossible to judge this photo. Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 08:44, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
- Support --Llez (talk) 11:25, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
