Click again and it will go back to 1944. Read the notes below each photo. Scroll down for next photo. http://interactive.guim.co.uk/embed/201 … l?ww2-dday Apr 26 20 05:06 pm Link It is amazing, after all the destruction and toll of war, they rebuilt. Often rebuilding to restore as if the war never happened. Very clever photography to capture the scenes from the same point, perspective, and apparently same focal length. Thanks. Really makes today situation seem trivial by the scope of comparison. The D-Day scenes alone would seem impossible today. Who would launch such a landing, knowing thousands would died on both sides plus all the civilian losses. It seems insane to our 21st eyes and ears. I recall seeing a similar before and after shot of the Normandy Cemetery, not done to the same degree of overlaying, but just as powerful.

Apr 27 20 03:56 am Link Thats a great concept, but really fustrating as you have this major contrast between eye catching images in the wartime ones and then really average snaps in the modern ones. it loses all its power. Its screaming out for some quality modern images. May 04 20 02:43 am Link Whoever said War isn't Pretty was Bang-on. May 07 20 07:31 pm Link |
