Has anyone got any "then and now" pictures? As in pictures of WWII, Hitler et al etc and the same place today?

I have picked up quite a few of these over the years through collecting WW2 photo material, here is one:

Hotel Halm in Konstanz now :


& back in the day

Name: City Kharkiv. Monument to Taras Shevchenko
Location: Kharkiv Region

This one broke the monotony of Stalin/Lenin ones so the Germans left it intact :





Back then :

Zamość was occuppied on Sept 14 by the German forces who then left it to the soviets who stayed only until October and on departure took approx 5,000 communist jews with them. A week later the Wehrmacht returned and re-occuppied this town.



Sept 1939

Another good photo thread idea.

I saw a link to this site on a different forum http://www.thirdreichruins.com/
It has some great then & now type images.

Excellent collection. Saw it before but well worth seeing again.

I would not have thought artists impressions containing 'super nasty looking Germans' are very accurate in terms of 'Then and Now'. It does seem that for some people it is important to try and cram jewish related posts into every thread whether they fit or not.

The post is entirely in line with the threads subject. If you are not adult enough to interpret the art/ photo comparisons in the context of this subject then thats your own business. Rather you would seem to prefer to bicker over whether everything posted suits your own particular palette and agenda. The thread is a light hearted look at images of different eras.
In the same way as a picture of the berghoff is not pro-nazi, a picture of Auschwitz is not exclusively 'jewish related'. They are simply 'then and now' pictures as per OP request.

Please please explain to me how the link you have a problem with is not relevent to the OP request:

WW2 'then and now' is a fairly common photographic theme. As many of the links above illustrate - there are sites dedicated to it, there are people who make a hobby out of re-creating original photos of wartime then and comparing it to now. To try and claim that cartoon caricatures fit into this category in this case is no more convincing than if they were cartoon caricatures of hook nosed jewish moneylenders on the streets of Berlin, and adding a 'Now' photo beside it.

Then & now photos =legitimate hobby
Then & now Photo with camp artwork =cramming; (posted by Morlar:" ; jewish related posts into every thread whether they fit or not")

Maybe you should contact some of the survivors of Aushwitz and ask why they didnt take photos as that is the mentality of your last post.

Good job its not you who sets the rules here Morlar, thats all I can say. I hope you don't mind if I post another link- let me know if you'd like me to remove it!!!


Some good links from BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/pop_ups/05/europe_wwii_cities_then_and_now_/html/1.stm

Then Photo and a Now Photo side by side for comparison = YES

NOW Cartoon caricature of Then and a Now Photo side by side = NOT SO MUCH

Not a place but a plane. Yellow 10 was the personal plane of the last Kommodore of JG26. It was surrendered in Flensburg and shipped to Canada and then the US where it laid boxed up in bits for decades. It was fully restored recently and is the only airworthy Fw190D in existence.

Photo from 1945

onee of my photos,

the location of the above is as follows: standing on the Couthoflaan looking into the Provenplein, the street coming from the left is the Blekerijweg.The white building on the right hand corner used to be a "cafe". Priest Comeyne describes the largest disaster that ever hit Proven: On May 29th 1940 after a lot of shooting at one o'clock there was a tremendous explosion. Coming on the street we saw a a large fire near the tram station where some 25 automobiles and other war material from the French and the Britisch had been assembled. German aircraft were flying overhead and it was said the the Britisch had been shooting at them. The answer was: bombs. The house of J. Doise was totally destroyed and the other 5 houses of the same block were also in flames.Also an ammo truck was in flames and the heavy explosions set all vehicules around on fire.How many soldiers were killed could not be established but it was a terrible scenery.(thanks to Sealander & Wim Devooght-Proven)
