    Never thought of that, feel so foolish now ;-)

    Pity, they have good pictures there

    Is there any way of checking it before posting?

    Can I ask what "Possibly NSFW" in this title means?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,427 ✭✭✭Dr Strange


    Can I ask what "Possibly NSFW" in this title means?

    It means Not Safe For Work and refers to picture that may not be permitted by your workplace (nudity etc) or may cause distress amongst your colleagues who may accidentally come across open pictures on your desktop (such as images of bodies, mutilations, etc.).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 397 ✭✭motherfunker


    Never heard of that one before.

    That warsaw ghetto uprising 'then & now' site is excellent ojewriej :)

    Similar one of germany here

    http://www.thirdreichruins.com/index.htm


    and another very interesting one (although off topic) listing all of the WW2 German and Allied aircraft landings/crashes in Ireland, listing location of crash sites, types/models of Aircraft, and fate of crews.

    http://www.csn.ul.ie/~dan/war/crashes.htm


    Also, I nearly forgot I did this, but I was messing around with video editing software in college a little over a year ago, put together some Anti-War Videos to music, and stuck them upon YouTube, if anyone wants to have a gander.

    Finally, can someone PM and tell me how to get photos to display like the ones that have been posted ? thanks guys

    Germans trianing with wooden tanks before war. Due to the restrictions in the Treaty of Versailles, they couldn't use real ones.

    How do you know?

    I'm not doubting you or anything, just wondering whether there are some distinguishin characteristic?

    Yep, its a He 111 alright, but I don't think (judging by the Pilots uniform) that it's German. They were sold to the Spanish, Hungarians, and Romanians, among others.

  • Registered Users Posts: 821 ✭✭✭FiSe


    He111 is very easy to recognize. Especially that gun mount in the front glasshouse.

    Would not argue whether that airman in there is German or not, after all, the flying suit doesn't give too much about nationality:

    This fella takes B&W WWII pictures and fills them with colors. That's his hobby, and even though I find it quite weird, some of his work is pretty good:

    http://www.warincolor.friko.pl/

    It's not a great website though, looks like it was made c. 1997, but pictures are not bad. The site is partially in polish, and partially in English for some reason, so when you open it, just use the menu on the right side. There are 3 galleries, and not much more.

    Some more:

    Polish Guerillas

    RAF No. 303 "Kościuszko" Polish Fighter Squadron - highest-scoring allied unit in the Battle of Britain. Its pilots were the only representatives of the Polish Army invited to the London Victory Parade in 1946; they refused the invitation because no other Polish units were invited. And it's surviving members were not invited for the celebrations of 50th Aniversary of BoB in 1990.

    No surprise when the highest scoring pilot of the battle was in their ranks. He wasn't Polish though :D
    I think I have mentioned it before somewhere, 2 Polish lads crashlanded in Ireland during WWII, Jozef Sawiak of 315. Squadron / Deblinski/ and Jan Zimek, a Polish-American. Both flew Spitfires at the time.

    That's right, he was Czech. His name was Josef Frantisek.

    u%20hurricanu1.jpg

    He flew in the 1939 campaign with Polish Air Forces, and decided to stick around afterwards. He was asked to join the RAF's Czech squadrons on few occasions, but he prefered to fly with Poles.

    They are great photos of D-Day, especially that one of the planes flying over the battleships.

    Imagine waking up in the morning and seeing that lot coming for you :eek:

    Two pictures showing Utashi brutality; an area of WW2 completely alien to most people. They were responsible for murdering hundreds of thousands.

    They were croatian muslims if I am not mistaken - they fought with the germans in the balkans (while the serbs fought against the germans).
