WW2 Colour photos. Please post links to all you've found!

#1

Post by Hoolaman » 06 Apr 2003, 10:56

Could everyone please reply on this thread with links to colour photos of all descriptions. I am not sure if the equipment forum is the right place but most colour photos feature equipment in some form.

Perhaps the moderators could place this in a better thread, but I think it would be very interesting to have all the links to colour photos in one place because they provide a living colour insight into life at the time, and I think it makes the war seem a lot closer to the present, which it really was when you think about it. Not to mention the cool tanks and stuff :)

I think colour photos of WW2 are very important to make it real for us today. Sometimes I see colour photos and get scared for something this awful happening again.
