This is what russian “liberation” looks like.
Just the same with the nazis, who burned every city in Lapland on their way to Norway. Right around the same time too.
Weren’t Finland (technically) allied with the Nazis?
That didn’t stop the nazis from doing a little scorched earth behind them (while evacuating Finland and on their way to Norway, through Lapland).
Still fairly early for color photography, no? Looks incredible.
It has a watermark explicitly saying it’s a colorization. The embossed faux cursive is pretty hard to make out, but it is https://www.jecinci.com/
So it does. I couldn’t bother reading the logos when there was an amazing picture to look at. Good thing I’m not a police detective I suppose!
Colour photography has actually existed longer than you expect. There are actually a few real colour images of WW2. Most are coloured afterwards but some real colour images exist.
Yeah, it’s hand-colored. Kudos to whoever did it, it looks really good.
That was my first thought too, “man this must be colorised right? Or…?”
Stunning picture, looks like a movie poster.
AGFA developed color photography and the film was available during WW II.
Damn, that’s a crazy shot
Fuck Russia. Nobody with a sane mind in the EU wants the worthless destructive Muscovites to return.
