World War II Pictures.

[Hudson]

Anyone interested in me posting up some WWII pictures? I have like 700 of them. I could zip and upload them if anyone actually has some interest in them.

Here's just a few of them;

I might have a few that are either reenactments or edited shops of older WWII pictures that have a high resolution that would work nicely as a wallpaper. Let me dig through for you.

Most of the pictures are the size you see here. Most soldiers didn't carry DSLRs around with them.

Honestly, dump as many into this thread as you want, I think it would be something cool to look at it and kill some time tonight.

Alright i'll keep dumping them in no particular order.

I also have some other old & interesting pictures that i could get to as well if i ever scratch the surface of these.

I have some stories behind some of them, but obviously i can't post every single story.
