Rare WW2 pics

[Bazza]

For those historians amongst you, or if you just like WW2 stuff, this is a collection of 110 photos that it is suggested are pretty rare, although
I have seen some of the classics before (I think.)

It is a mixed bag of Marines, Pearl Harbour and a few Aviation based...(All USA though...)

Those look like some of the best I've seen. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I haven't had a good look at them myself yet, just checked they weren't rubbish and banged them off.

Some of them really need to be looked at in detail.

Cheers...

Couple off ones that stick out is the color in the landing craft , the Japanese Soldier covered with dirt to keep the stench of death , ones i really studied was the aftermath photos of Nakasaki and Hirosuma , ones i have not seen before , other - the LCT s dropping troops of 400 plus meters from the beach , you would have wanted to make sure it was secure and then have troops time to dry out - LPC,s were the only thing keeping a soidier on the move .

My boss collects military clothing from WW2 era (and earlier) and will really appreciate another link for his research. Thanks for posting this up! Definitely post up some more if you come across them. Cheers.
Great photos, nice and clear.

What an awesome collection!

Allow me to share another series, which shows WWII from a rather different perspective. It's a Hungarian site, the title is : Pictures you've never seen from WWII. Enjoy.
