I've never seen such high quality photos from the period.  They'd be high quality today even.

Same. I could've taken them for twenty-first century HD shots of a reenactment or behind-the-scenes of an upcoming WWII film.

Those photos look fake.  They are that high quality.  I didn't know such photographs existed.  Amazing.

I collected G.I. Joes and accessories in my early youth. Most here may now why I'm accompanying this pic with that little tidbit.
