World War II in colour
I've seen the TV progammres, but I wasn't aware of this excellent website, with hundreds of colour photographs of German, British, American, Soviet and Japanese forces in action (and some domestic ones too).This of Himmler and Heydrich in SS black is pretty sinister, as, I thought, just this one of Himmler. I've always wondered - was that silly haircut common at that time, or was it just him? Goering looks as ridiculous as usual, while Otto Skorzeny, Hitler's oddjob man (jobs like taking on most the Italian army singlehandedly, that sort of thing), just looks hard (though apparently that scar is from fencing). Oh, and the world's first jet bomber.
