Is that a G-41M on the bottom right?

>>33739935
Short S-29 Stirling Mk. III

>>33740070
is the frame/front end of the body identical to the lancaster for production purposes?

I never realized the past was so monotone in color

>>33740124
Weren't these cannons experimental at the time?

>>33740135
well they definitely saw use on the eastern front

>>33740233
Some of the Wochenschau episodes really made me realize how shit the people of the Ukraine outside of the big cities had it. What a terrible life.

Might be the right place to ask, but how good was the Mk III and Mk IV helmet compared to the German and American helmets of WWII?

brown camo in the winter, yeah sure

>>33748144
didn't notice the snow in the background. Was more getting at its a e s t h e t i c, but i would see it working in some environments. If you're a suomi-boo i can relate. I visited Finland a few years ago, went to some Winter War bunker sites, went to their national war museum in helsinki etc. It was the shit.

>>33748181
well knowing how it was like for germans at that time, it be what it be
i'm finnish

>>33748216
in that case huomenta. I watched the 3 hour version of Talvisota with my ex AAA conscript buddy while in finland. That, shitloads of karhu a, karjala, and naked saunas. hope to visit again eventually.

>>33748144
Those are Waffen SS Oak Leaf winter parkas and pants. They're reversible and white on the inside. Why they're wearing them with the oak leaf side out is anybody's guess, unless they're about to get on a train or a wagon or something and haven't switched to white yet.

definitely looks like the inspiration for modern russian partizan/gorka autumn type camo. Guessing it is.

The dynamic between Churchill and Stalin was fascinating.

Something completely different finished in paint of the same period.

>>33745224
That's not WWII it's just an old rust jagpanther. Look a the gun. It's rusted + there is no mg in mg port.

>>33745239
What happened to these? Not even tracks left.

>>33745403
Not wwii, it's restored panther ausf g thats in germany there's footage of it on youtube driving around since i think this is only panther in working condition ( i think there might be another one in samur museum in france but don't know if it works)

Why are tracks taken off?

>>33748410

My best guess is the surviving crews salvaged the tracks for the next battle? They might have been in short supply and needed badly?

>>33745990
WW1, though feel free to correct me as im not too sure but i think that its the Paris Gun.

>>33751446
Italian P40, I guess?

Anyone got any photos of Jews inside the gas chambers? I can't seem to find any. There are lots of other photos without them though.

The question is were they colorized properly? (Converting to b/w again produces the source image exactly)

And here is the Maxime Gorky Fort . One of a line of a chain of forts defending Sevastopol . It was destroyed by five 800mm shells .

>>33748410
maybe taken to be scrapped by locals, easy to take them off the tank, also could be removed by allies so they could not get it moving again

Here's some atmosphere
