    Looking for color photos/Dia's from Bulgaria

    Hi guys, unfortunately during the WW2 color photography was almost never used in Bulgaria. For instance, the only known to me color photo of Bulgarian combat aircraft /a couple of 109E in flight/ is made by Messerschmitt photographers for the company calendar of 1941 or 42.

    But through Bulgaria passed a great number of German soldiers and officers. Maybe some of them made color photos or Dia-s? It will be very interesting to me to see such, if you have - wartime color photo from Bulgaria. Thanks in advance!

    I have about 5,000 German color slides which were photographed just in the Balkan region alone. Of that number, maybe 1000 depict Bulgarian themes. Are you looking for images from a particular town or region?

      I am amazed, at least to say! It will be great, if you can show me something related to the capital Sofia /my town/. Or most of all, anything related to Bulgarian airforce - aircraft or pilots or aifields /this is my primary collecting interest, also my grandfather was pilot back then/.

        I am sure I have color slides from Sofia which include images of Bulgarian soldiers and Luftwaffe aircraft on airfields near that city but unfortunately none that show just Bulgarian aircraft.

              Thank you very much, I just sent you an Email. Here is one image from me - unfortunately it is not what it looks like. It is a nice photo from my collection, but it is black&white. And this is my poor attempt for colorizing with Photoshop
