The death of a loyalist soldier

Well everybody, if you didnt already know it, this is one hell of a photograph. Apparently this is a Spanish republican the split-second before he was shot in 1936... Crazy to think that Robert Capa's camera actually captured someone at the moment of death that long ago!? Well, after doing an entire days work on it and more to come for my essay, im going to let you decide. Is this real or staged? hmmm.....
