S&F for sure!!!! Absolutely wonderful pictures, thanks for posting your find
Scientists!! I especially like the tank pics and the snow camo, very cool stuff and nothing that I have ever seen in COLOR. awesome!

WOW!! Unbelievable pics. I laughed at the one of the soldier in those ridiculously huge snow boots . Truell breathtaking scenes.

Great find! I'm especially digging all the photos of the women soldiers. For all the backwardness and horror stories of life in the USSR, one has to admit that in some ways they were way ahead of the curve.

Coloured photos definitely change the way to view this war. I wonder how people would see modern wars if they were photographed in black and white

Excellent photos.
The englishrussia site has often got some cracking photo pages.
I remember a page of full colour photos of Russia from more than 100 years ago that stood out.
Its well worth visiting englishrussia from time to time.

makes it come alive really...

and yet makes it all more unbelievable at the same time.

eh they look like they are not genuine colour photographs, but hav been doctored recently to add colour

thank you friend! S&F

Very vivid and beautiful photos!

Amazing to see Russian WW2 photos in colour!

Gee, you think so?

It doesn't make them less real to doctor the picture colours. How else are these pictures supposed to be coloured? Magic?

Wonderful link! I always found it hard to imagine how all those black and white photos look like with colors, especially the colored photos of the Nazis released a few months ago were amazing, all those mega red banners hanging down from high government buildings with the swastika in the middle of it all, crazy!

Thanks for sharing these

It certainly give these nameless soldiers personality

Good find S & F

Exactly as others said, we only see black & white because it dehumanises it, colour makes it so much more real, the people are just like you and me! Kind of makes you feel vulnerable

cool pictures 10q i wish they never end...

as we can see..ppsh and mosin-nagant are present in nearly every photo...

Ppsh had awesome power..i think it was the best sub machine gun of ww2..it had everything fast..loads of bullets...fast reload and quite precise for such power..

whilst the mosin nagant i dont like that much..i beleive german rifles were better but thats my opinion
