It sure does, but when watching in example re-enactors or shots from movies
and so forth (atleast I) get a feeling of that it feels unreal. Because I´m so
used to only see ww2 in black and white. Like from this new Finnish warmovie,
feels "not ww2" or what:

I have no idea, check the site I linked to. Excellent pictures anyway. But it
might be a actual colour photo given that it looks like a cartoon. I guess the
colour films of those days were not that advanced. But as said, I don´t know.

Another German postcard. According to the text it shows a "trench near
a border". It does not say when or where the picture was taken, but as
the trench and the trees all look untouched it was probably made just
before, or in the beginning of the war.

The DUKW is an amphibious 6x6 truck built during World war II in the USA. The main users were the US military, and the British. The Canadian Army used some but we do not know how many.
DUKW on Juno Beach heading inland June 1944. It is a Beach Group one (there is the red circle and red anchor formation sign on it) just to right of the British soldier on the DUKW. Unit is 633 GT Company, Royal Army Service Corps. Yes the other soldier is an American. No he is not lost, he is a colour photographer. (Victory in Europe by Max Hastings. Pictures by George Stevens. p. 17)
Part of another DUKW showing the RASC unit sign is also on that page.
The Canadians worked closely with the British.

The movie is somewhat based on Harry Järvs experiences during the war,
Järv took a lot of photos during the war, he wrote kind of a diary with pictures.
Kind a like this:
http://www.aff.a.se/003_34.jpg
Top left photo showing Gunnar Lindblom, that I think was killed during a
recon mission behind enemy lines. On bottom left Ragnar Östman that was
shot in the chest by a enemy sniper is taken care of. On bottom right the
author himself show his amputated leg, he stepped on a mine during a mission
behind enemy lines.
About the camo there is some pictures of it being used in Järvs book. Simply
his unit used them sometimes when conducting missions behind enemy lines,
but usually they used the (grey) summer dress m/36 though, like on the picture.
Simply, the patrol dress (note the similarity in colour with the Soviet uniforms)
was this units own invention, and was not likely allowed to be used by the HQ,
but they probably used it anyway,
http://www.kkrva.se/images/kkrvaht/skogen.gif
First confrontation with the sniper that shot Ragnar Östman
and his securing squads, however they fled before there was
contact with them, here were the ordinary summer dress.

Actually, I do know of color film being used as early as 1919 to film the return celebrations for US troops in the states, but the color was horrible, and the film was expensive. the same goes for photos, i have seen a few photos from ww1 that were color, but they are very grainy.

From this website:
http://www.mediatheque-patrimoine.culture.gouv.fr/fr/archives_photo/visites_guidees/autochromes.html#2
the process is call "autochrome" and was invented in 1903 by the Lumière Brothers.
It is not collorize but real color pics process.

Good old Brewster Buffalo. Heard the Finns liked them and were more successfuk then the US was with them. Midway was their first and last US use in combat.
I think there was some differences between the Buffalos used by the US
Navy and by Finland. I think the Finnish ones were more powerful to start
with due to a export engine used. But mainly it was because of the tactics
used, the Finns had aggressive tactics against the Soviet AF, it was obviously
quite succesfull, many of the Finnish aces flew Buffalos during a period before
receiving Bf-109´s. This included the greatest non-German/Austrian ace of all
times that scored 94 victories.
During 1941 - 43 the Finnish Air Force achieved 477 victories with the Brewsters
with an exchange ratio of 32:1! During World War 2, Finnish pilots destroyed
1,808 Russian aircraft in aerial combat and achieved an overall 7.5:1 "kill"
ratio, all while never operating more than 150 fighters at one time.

Finnish Buffalo, note the yellow (also used by the Germans if I remember
it correctly), the Finnish blue svastika and the squadrons insignia.

nine fighters in the combat. Both Karhunen (31 kills) and Nissinen (32.5 kills)
was fighter aces as well.

Hans Wind with his Buffalo, he scored 75
victories during the war
http://www.saunalahti.fi/veijju/images/lekot/humu_01.jpg
A Finnish Humu, Humu was to be a Finnish rework of the very
successfull Brewster Buffalo. Fuselage is from Brewster, but engine was
replaced with Soviet M-63 and new wings were made out of wood.
Because of severe delays, a test flight accident and performance
problems Humu never went into production.

Good photos Duchimus, though on the one hand I've seen many of them before in several publications, and on the other there are what appears to be some reenactment photos in between.
In particular the shoot with the HVSS Sherman with what appear amongst others to be a Brit in Dennison smock standing on the back of the tank.
Both in colour and texture that as well as 2-3 other pics looks somewhat too modern. If the sherman pic had been genuine WW-2 it would have had to be taken during the spring or summer of 1945, as Shermans with HVSS suspension wasn't deployed in ETO before around the time of the Battle of the Bulge.
Still there are quite a handfull of photos I haven't seen before also. And some I've only previously seen in edited/cut versions, like the photo of the Pz II climbing an embankment along with a few Pz 38(t). Which perhaps should indicate tanks belonging to 7. pz div. during the invasion of France 1940. Have only seen that photo before in a cropped version only showing the Pz II. The full version of the pic displayed here is much more interesting to look at.
Pix were in x-form dud-links at first, but managed to coax them to show up with some copy/pasting of the picture URL's
Mustamato, those WW-1 pics are in fact hand coloured (believe it or not).
Think National Geographic have a short introduction to the history of colour film somewhere on their web-site if you're interested.

Who is this sucker then?
He's at least an Obergruppenführer (General) by rank.
Looks a bit like Theodor Eicke, Co of the SS Totenkopf division (with troops recruited from the concentration camp guard units) until he was killed in 1943.

actually im not so sure about that. the colors are painted in. i learned how to do this in photo class back when i was in middle school. all you do is water color a black and white photo. in some cases it actually comes out very realistic, but its always flat, because all the shading is black and white, not actual darkened colors.
you wont find real color (as in color film) till right before ww2. if memory serves me right, the war actually helped with the advancement of color film, mostly through areas like infrared etc.
Great photos Mustamato!
That photo looks like it was colorized, maybe not much later than the photo was taken, do you know if its the actual photo or not?
Yes, that and many of the other photos as well. The color film was invented in the 1930s.
From this website:
http://www.mediatheque-patrimoine.culture.gouv.fr/fr/archives_photo/visites_guidees/autochromes.html#2
the process is call "autochrome" and was invented in 1903 by the Lumière Brothers.
It is not collorize but real color pics process.
