There's definitely an eerie quality to seeing all that in colour.

This changes the pictures and the mood I had in mind for this time of the years quite heavily.

Impressive Pictures.. thanks for the links!

Pretty disturbing indeed. It kind of made me sad when I realized that this picture is from Bulgaria.

Quote from e-freak

so what? seeing the germans weren't all monsters and the others weren't all antifa? what's wrong with the image?

... ? Hello, I'm living in the German-speaking part of Switzerland and I like Germany myself?

Nah, I mean it makes me sad that Bulgaria was an ally of Hitler at the time, as it had always been an ally of Germany, in WWI and so on - since Germany has had a quite strong cultural influence on Bulgaria and the newer Bulgarian kings (from 1850 or something) being of German blood -, as opposed to, for instance, Greece, which has tried to fight Germany (at least to push their troops that came from Bulgaria back). Of course, it's not something you should make a big deal out of, and it wouldn't have made much of a difference anyway. "Es geht ums Prinzip". It reminds me of the fact that Bulgaria back in that day blindly followed the politics of a madman - not of a monster country. I'm not that old/retarded to generalize and project the ideology and mentality of a few (leading) people to a whole nation.

I have saved color pictures from the LIFE archive for a while now in case i will ever work on something ww2 related again. The really give a different perspective on this time period.

Some from my own collection. Not sure if they have been posted in the link already.

That's just a few. i have nearly 300 already. They are often not so easy to find because the search for the archive pretty much sucks. It helps to have some background knowledge about the war to find the best search terms.

Are these childhood phots?

Steppenwolf, I want more photos! These are great, I mean the technique and action shots - not the content! WWII was hell on earth, I hope there will be no photos in our history that will look like these...

I zipped all ww2 color photos that i have. About 500 photos.
