A WW2 Pillbox in a state of disrepair on Aberdeen Beach at dusk.

I did a little research and this looks to be a WW2 army truck! Long retired, it basks in the sun on a quiet farm, reliving the glory days!

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!

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:

For this field airport "Pohledec Mountain" is a 10x10 km impenetrable forest. Here parachutists jumped off the RAF and parachutists from the USSR. SS tried to prevent it, but members of the SS were killed with knives directly on motorbikes. My native land was meaningless and therefore it circled the fascists rather than risk big losses.

Za tímto polním letištěm "Pohledecká hora u Nového města na Moravě" je 10x10 km neprostupný les. Zde seskakovali parašutisté RAF i parašutisté ze SSSR. SS tomu zkusila zabránit, ale příslušníci SS byli zabíjeni noži přímo na motorkách. Můj rodný kraj byl bezvýznamný a proto ho fašisté radši objeli, než by riskovali velké ztráty. Podrobnosti se dočtete v knize Odboj na Moravě od doktora Holemáře, která vyšla těsně po revoluci, ale cenzura ji stáhla. Atentát na Heindricha je tam vylíčen trochu jinak, než nám je léta vtloukáno do hlavy.

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.

I have an uncle who was a marine during ww2 who fought in the pacific. This is a Japanese flag that he brought home, it has a few names written on it from some of the men that he served with. The names on the flag are:

Charles F Blanbo from Washington DC ( I think that's what the last name is, its kinda fuzzy)

Harold L Bachelor from Portland Oregon

Wm Roberts from Brookville Indiana

Frank Trusky from Akron Ohio

James E. Day from Huntsville Alaska

Douglas P. Searbrough from Monterey Tennessee

Harlan Bunnilk from Rockford Minnesota

John L. England from Jacksonville Texas

and my uncle Charles Fortney

I'm still trying to get more information like the unit he was in and if my uncle can remember where he got the flag from. He gave this to me about 25 or 30 years ago, it's been at my parents house till I asked them to send it to me.

Kaiser Shipyard No. 3 was one of four Kaiser shipyards in Richmond that built Liberty and Victory cargo ships and troop transports during WW2.

The abandoned York Shore Battery, built in 1942-43 to protect Halifax Harbour.

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.

Now part of a large set: www.flickr.com/photos/barryslemmings/sets/72157618288704499/

original or repro canteen cover?

Its a USMC type 3 canteen cover with a ww1 canteen inside.

Would you guys like to see more in depth pictures of ww2 gear?

A shot from Caister on Sea of one of the old WW2 lookout boxes that has sadly fallen into the sea. This area is well known for its rapid coastal erosion. The structure has been here for many years, its depth in the sand does change over the course of time. I was lucky with this image as the tide gave a nice curve as the water lapped round the subject. My youngest daughter on seeing the image thought it looked like a piece of cake - thus the title.

same design as my old sherman, just changed some lil' things. Inspirations are taged.

Battle of the Atlantic Memorial Museum

The Battle of the Atlantic Memorial located in Camaret-sur-Mer on the site of Fort Kerbonn, in a former blockhouse dating from the Second World War, recalls in its simplicity that during the last war more than 45,000 sailors of the commerce of all nations disappeared with their 5,125 ships.

He links in the same thought these allied sailors and the 30,000 sailors of the Kriegsmarine sunk with their 759 submarines.

This Memorial tells the visitor the history of the great battle and recalls the action within it by the sailors of Free France.

Kerbonn's many fortifications form part of the defences of the goulet de Brest. The first fortification on the site is a mortar battery dating to 1889-1891, with its underground magazine. The Fort de Kerbonn is a side battery, designed to fire on ships in the roadstead of Brest. Another French battery was built in 1932, and between 1942 and 1944 the Germans built four casemates on the site to house French 164mm guns, 6 air-raid shelters, one fire-direction post and three anti-aircraft-gun positions. One of these German casemates now houses a memorial to the Battle of the Atlantic.
