LIFE Magazine Color Pictures of Nazi Germany

These color photos of 40's Germany are a real treasure.  No other WWII pics I have seen make me feel like I am "there" like these.  The people in the pics just seem so more "real" than b&w pics or recolored TV footage.

Viewer Warning: There are no graphic pictures, but the swastika does appear in many photos.  (Sorry it that is violating anything Skuzzy, but these are pictures worth sharing IMO.)

If I'm not mistaken, that is Adolf Galland in the middle.   



Regardless, Rangah, thanks for the post.     :salute

Scary.
Color gives much more life to the pictures instead of the "distant dream" effect of B&W. Keeps reminding you that this collective madness was real and not some old legend.

Except this picture below. All I could think of is:
"dam dam dam,
dam di dam,
dam di dam"
.. and wait for lord Vader to walk in...

I cant help it, but somehow i feel that Hitler was abit of an ahole. Thank cod he doesnt play AH. Just imagine having that little general telling us what to do with a german accent. He would no doubt be the most annoying squeeker ever.

Excellent find Ranger  :aok

Skuzzy removed that pic, probably because of the swastika, so please don't post any pics showing it here.  If peeps want to see the photos, they need to use the link.
