Bundesarchiv on Wikimedia

[Michael H. Pruett]

While this may be old news to some I just learned today that the photos of the Bundesarchiv has now been posted on Wikimedia. You can view photos by selecting the year. WHAT A TREAT! Now you can see the full series of photos that have appeared as single shots in books. Many I have never seen before. Lots of good Panzer and uniform shots. ENJOY!

Wow!!

What a treasure trove of photos!! I'm still looking and saving, hope the hard drive holds up...LOL

On a serious note, some of the photos are particularly chilling, the photos of the Russian partisans being executed for one .
