Footage from Colditz emerges after 70 years.

@CWO-Marc The vast majority of vintage “combat” photographs and videos are staged or reenacted. The ones that aren’t are often blurry and ill-composed because the photographer was being shot at.

I wouldn’t really expect them to show battle with actual bullets flying until the gopro era

“A remarkable film showing life inside an Austrian prisoner of war camp - and a daring escape from it - has been obtained by BBC News.”

Hey Garg.  Man I wish I could ask him.  I spent one weekend with him at his cottage the week after the at the time Premier Bill Davis was there.  A few years later he found out he had aggressive cancer.  Being a man’s man he didn’t want anybody to see him in his weak and dying state and died with only his wife at his side a few weeks later.  I’ll ask my mom tho, we were just talking about them as her 90th b-day was last week and mom went.

Man that Berlin Air Lift was one hell of a heroic effort.  A pivotal moment in the cold war in my opinion.

This is very sad.  It happened way to often.

Here’s a link to an article about new footage that was just found in London showing the aftermath of the Blitz. I thought you would all find it interesting.

The war many had feared erupts as German troops move into, at first, Holland and Belgium lead by air suport and airborn attacks.

Isn’t that weird to think that was over 60 years ago already.
