WWII in pictures

[Davethedog]

Hi I am putting this here because I think its both pretty damn amazing and sobering.

A word to the wise some of these pictures and nearly all the holocaust pictures are extremly uncomfortable, but they are a reminder of why we should all be vigilant against right wing extremism

Apparently, the large shark face on the front of the aircraft, This was done after pilots saw a photograph of a P-40 of No. 112 Squadron RAF in North Africa, which in turn had adopted the shark face from German pilots of the Luftwaffe's ZG 76 heavy fighter wing, flying Messerschmitt Bf 110 in Crete.

Incredible since we only seem to hear of the US volunteer group of flyers in China, called the 'Flying Tigers'

They are amazing pictures Dave.

Those showing civilian victims - especially children - always brings home the horror.

I did actually cry when seeing those showing victims of the holocaust and the often casual way they were murdered.
