For so many years, historians and casual observers alike have observed the events of World War II through faded black and white images. What most people do not know is the fact that quite a large portion of the WWII was shot using color film! However, it wasn’t until recently that a lot of the photographs and motion picture footage was de-classified by the U.S. Government.
Amazing HQ pictures from WW II. Just click on thumbs. Enjoy!

Great pics! But could you perhaps post a ZIP or RAR with all the photo’s? It’s taking me ages to view/download them all….
I’ll be putting these in a themepack for windows 7. Thanks for the hi-res.
