Love those photos Monsstar!! Thanks for posting them. you got any more?

Gnomey · 05-12-2005, 04:54 PM

Cool, do you have anymore?

Nice photographs. The quantity and quality of unofficial German photographs seems to contrast strongly with the availability on the British side.

Were German personnel encouraged to photograph extensively or were the smug b.....s just so pleased with themselves at that point in the conflict that a blind eye was turned ?

Do you have any more May / June 1940 photos of British vehicles showing BEF Tactical markings and insignia ?
