Oh so that's why in Soviet "liberated" territory, one of the first Russian phrases one should learn was "Give me your watch"?

EDIT. *ahem..*
OT


A couple from D-Day

It always makes me sick how everybody pushes on the fact that Russians looted and raped the liberated German people yet cannot acknowledge the Germans have done so on a much, much larger and horrific scale. Even more importantly, the Russians deserved their rampage. So roughly how Stalin put it, the "Red Army is not an ideal army but one that is good at killing Germans".

Im very impressed with the first image,do you know more about it?
PS:There are a new TV documentary about the WW 2 in the National Geographic Channel ,they digital colour the image, it brings so much reality, I don't saw the WW 2 as a distant war no more, looks like this happen yesterday. Must see.






I open this thread not to see only the pictures , but know some of those pictures stories.
In your first picture I almost see my wife and my kid.Its terrible.

If I am not mistaken, that top pic is in Lithuania. The people about to be shot are Jewish, and the guy doing the shooting is a Lithuanian police officer (If thats how you would describe it). Don't quote me on that, but I think its quite a famous pic.

Have you ever seen me do otherwise?
Or is it more of a rant in some general direction?

The guy standing on the right side of this photo is clearly David Walliams from "Little Britain" :

Wasn't this supposed to be "best" WW2 photos, not "general photos from WW2"?

This one of my favourite pictues from the winter war.



It is from the legendary Kollaa front, north of Lake Ladoga. A christmas sermon is taking place at the front. The quality of this picture is rather poor, but it will do.

it's not ww2,but it has great pictures

^^The Winter War was still part of World War 2
