Ive seen enough movies and stills, World War 2 was DEFINITELY a black and white war. I’d don’t buy these pictures.
Amazing photographs. Thanks.
You are welcome, but what is with your FR handle...?
The first color photo ever was taken in 1861, so not sure why a handful of color photos from 80 years later couldn’t be authentic
Kodachrome was on the British market in 1935, btw...

HOWEVER, in the event of a DIRECT HIT, will close IMMEDIATELY!
It left such an impression on him that, years later when he was a homeowner, he had a calligrapher make an exact duplicate that he hung above his basement bar.
And no burkas or hijabs in sight.
Allegedly the Ruskie hostages were released.
Now, to a college kid (then) reading the story, it was the perfect moniker as it seemed those chaps knew the right and proper way to treat Jihadis.
Hence my screen name.
My first choice was the Sayeret Matkal, who also don't have much political correctness in treating scum, but that name is a mouthful. I also wanted to include the SBS (SAS' lesser known, but arguably more capable, cousin) but I didn't.
Had I known the questions the moniker would have raised I would have probably opted for the Salvation Army. During the Georgia conflict some years back it became veritable flypaper for a number of FReepers who thought they'd found the perfect target to direct their anger over Putin at.
Anyway, that is the genesis of the name.
I’m sure they’re real...just having fun. Decades ago I had a book on WW2 with color photos. One of them showed a bombing run (from the air) over Germany. They were over farmland and and it was green, well laid out, and just looked really pretty. Made you wonder why they tear up everything there...there just has to be other ways to deal with stuff.
