Air Force Cane Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 it was nearly 70 years ago now, but it wasn't that long ago technologically. they had cars that look so old, but then trucks that dont' look much different today. the men look the same now as they did then. it is very surreal.. I wonder what those sailors thought on that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baculus Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Amazing, dramatic photos. I always try to imagine these scenes in color and in action - they just look so unreal in black and white. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalSkinsFan Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Awsome photos, thanks. It would be absolutely unreal to live thru something like that. I guess one could compare it somewhat to Iraq today, but the sheer scope and scale of WWII is almost unbelievable ... but it acually did happen. Wow.

RVAbrendan Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Amazing, dramatic photos. I always try to imagine these scenes in color and in action - they just look so unreal in black and white.Thanks for posting. Have you seen the pictures of Russia that were taken in 1909 that the photographer used a special three plating techinique to produce color pictures? It's pretty incredible, because nobody thinks of WWI in color. I think I posted a thread about it in the tailgate if you wish to check out the pictures, or here's a link http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/empire Anyway, great Pearl Harbor pictures! Thank you for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrockster21 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Great pics. I can say from experience that Pearl Harbor is a very emotional place. I visited there a year ago, and I got all choked up. I wonder what those sailors thought on that day. Not sure, but I think it was probably something along the lines of "HOLY ****!" Thanks for posted these :laugh: Engrish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EersSkins05 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Every time I start to wonder if we really needed to drop those bombs on hiroshima and nagasaki, pictures like these make me say, "Oh yes, we did." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Air Force Cane Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I have several WWII DVDs in color. there is also the show "Battlefront" on the Military Channel on saturdays which has color footage. I think they are going back to the old black and white and colorizing it. at any rate, it does make everything seem so much more real. to think of a war where nearly FIFTY MILLION people were killed. it is hard to bear 3,000 in Iraq- imagine the Soviet Union suffering 27 MILLION dead in three years..

Kilmer17 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Amazing photos. A definite must visit for US history buffs. The US lost 35,000+ men taking Normandy. Perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
