Hi everyone,

found a site with about 100 seldom colour-photos from german campaigns in France (1940) and Russia. Very good reference for figure- and diorama-builders. Itīs worth a visit, though in german language. http://www.bilder-des-krieges.de/farbe/gesfar.htm

Both of those sites have some great stuff in them. Thanks.

Also, I have seen a show on TV called The Third Reich in Colour. I think it was done by the BBC. The whole thing is made from colour film from WWII. If you ever have the chance of watching this show, then I suggest you do. Tape it too as it can be good reference material.

Great pics. Thanks for sharing.

The great thing about these pics is that they were taken by the men on the line, and capture the real flavor of the time, not like a news or propoganda pic.

Thanks again
