I road along with a local Minneapolis based vintage airplane club for their annual River Run along the Mississippi. The planes are WW2 era T-6 Texan warbird trainers from different military branches. The photo was taken in a formation over a eastern suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota called Cottage Grove.
In May 1945 Soviet troops liberated the Danish island of Bornholm. The German garrison surrendered after a heavy bombardment of Bornholm's cities, i.a. Rønne. In April 1946 - 75 years ago - Soviet troops left Bornholm.
On the left, the church of St Thomas of Canterbury, built 1874-5. On the right, the tower of the church of St Mary Magdalene. This church was begun in Norman times, with the tower being rebuilt in 1503. The tower is now the only remaining part of St Mary, the rest having been demolished in 1871 with some of the stone being used to enlarge the nearby St George’s which itself was destroyed, apart from its tower, in WW2.
Another facade of a destroyed building in WW2. Not supposed to be anything in particular, showing off the roof window finally. Enjoy!
Hey Flickr!
This is the first WW2 era house I've ever built and I'm kind of in love with how it turned out. It will be featured in that collab for BBTB. Let me know what y'all think about it and where I can make any improvements. Ideally I would have added ODG as another main color but I only had a few pieces. I didn't realize that the closed windows on the back have the grooves vertical, they should be horizontal. This is also the first time I have edited multiple photos into a collage like this, If any of you have editing tips please do share :)
Wont have access to Flickr for the following week but Ill have some stuff ready to post when I return.
Enjoy!

Looking back 75 Years WW2. Normandy, France.
D-Day, June 6, 1944. WW2.
The Mulberry Harbour was built for D-Day in June 1944. The Mulberry Harbour’s purpose was to ease and speed up the unloading process so that Allied troops were supplied as they advanced across France after breaking out from Normandy. The success of D-Day could only be maintained if the advancing troops were supplied and more men landed. The Mulberry Harbour was one of the greatest engineering feats of World War Two.
A candid black-and-white portrait of Seimon Pugh-Jones sitting by a classic military Jeep. Taken at a classic vehicle show.
Shot on a Canon 70D with a 50mm lens, I aimed for a timeless feel by using monochrome, enhancing the textures and contrasts to bring out the details of the uniform, the netted helmet, and the rugged Jeep.
Seimon Pugh-Jones also operates a mobile museum, preserving history through immersive experiences. To learn more about the mobile museum, please visit their Crowdfunder page:
Kaiser Shipyard No. 3 was one of four Kaiser shipyards in Richmond that built Liberty and Victory cargo ships and troop transports during WW2.
I did it. I built a WW2 MOC. And there are probably more to follow since I’ve quite a few minifigs I’ve never used before.
The minifigs are from TMC and CitizenBrick.
The window technique is from Maxim Baybakov , please check out his stream.
A friend and I were at Bunker Bash 2009, the annual military rally at the former Government bunker at Kelvedon Hatch, near Brentwood in Essex. We had been undecided about going so arrived late and not in the best of weather.
We found an enthusiatic bunch of re-enactors and military vehicles owners covering both World Wars. One part of the site had been laid out as mock entrenchments with various national groups including British, US, German, Soviet and even Serbian forces dug-in.

My kids learned a lot about the Second World War today at Murton Park, York. This chap was dressed up as a German soldier and very knowledgeable.
