Y'all might laugh, but I make every effort I can to save war photos, doesn't matter if it's WWII, Nam, or the current conflicts in the middle east. I just have a feeling that one day, very few people will give a shit about what happened and I'd like to think that maybe my external HDDs will get passed down, and even tho they'll be ancient relics, that maybe the bits of history on them will pass on the stories of what happened a long time ago.

This thread is so great that I had to go and get my No4 to hold while I looked at all of these pictures.

>>10557706 That feel when the only WWII guns I have are a 91/30 and an M44. I'd like to get a No.4, Garand, and an M1 carbine eventually but all my money is being spent on an SBR right now.

If I'm not mistaken, were the cameras with D-day photos dropped overboard by some clumsy general, and that's why there aren't many D-day photos?

>>10556593 Yeah, because never having a war where there were millions dead in military casualties, and millions more in civilian collateral damage, and even more millions in civilians killed outside of actual conflict is such a terrible thing.
Fuck you, you edgy little shit. Go the hell away.
