Port engine prop is not even bent...altough it is feathered as it should be. Terrain looks wey weird and plants suspiciously strange. I am sure a B-24 is a good flier when belly empty and exhausted all fuel, but still...those airmen were some lucky campers.

Hmm looking closer, propeller on engine No1 (above right in the picture, Left wing) is in tact, no bend or other sign of collision...
Unless the picture is well tampered, I can only think its a fake... anybody else got any idea??

Gentlemen,

I'll be adding a few photos from Deakin's "Embattled Mountain" but since I just broke charity when it comes to scanning,I would really appreciate your tips- how can I,for example clear this photo of these shady curves?

And another one: "Recon troops of German division "Prinz Eugen" advancing from Maglic to Sutjeska valley,June 1943."

There is something in common to all of pictures of partisans taken during the Fifth Offensive: expresion of utter exhaustion and uncertainty on their faces. Very powerful photos in my opinion...

And a rare photo to finish the "Embattled Mountain" collection: Members of British mission on Zelengora mountain during the Fifth offensive,June 1943.

Next set of photos comes from "Grosse Geschichte des Dritten Reiches und des Zweiten Weltkrieges". First one is a German notification (can't remember a more suitable word-help me on that one): "100.000 Reichsmark in Gold will be paid to the person who delivers communist leader Tio,dead or alive." Similar notification concerning Draza Mihailovic was issued as well.

Partisans slaughtering a horse.Often was it the only source of fresh food,when in desolate mountains or being encircled...

Somewhat different situation: British officer giving lecture to the partisans on modern warfare,photo taken on the island of Vis.
