D-Day in Color, Photographs from the Normandy Invasion
This website has many color WWII pictures of first days of the invasion of Normandy! It's very cool!

One from the link by [MENTION=2433]FlyingR[/MENTION]. Checking them out - easy to forget sometimes that WW2 wasn't fought in B/W

So some cameras+film during the war were able to be developed into full colour images? I always thought the procedure was only used on greyscale film after the war - Or by talented people who have the patience to digitally colourise images.
My attempts have always been pretty shoddy to say the least.

Colour photography has been around since the 1840s/50s, it just didn't start to become somewhat affordable to do until around WW2, and did not become especially widespread until the 1960s. There is plenty of colour photography and film from WW2 though, generally taken by professional camera crews, as colour cameras and film would have been far too expensive for the common soldier. That said, there is colour photography from WW1, and there is a famous group of colour photographs taken by Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky documenting life in Imperial Russia in the early 1900s:

I was wondering if anyone has some high quality pictures of 1895 Nagant revolvers or TT-33 in use during WW2, Korea or Vietam that he can post here. Planning on printing one out to put with mine in the gun room. I am planning on doing that with all the weapons i have. Look for them in historical pictures and printing them preferably A3 format for personal use.

Yes, observant young grasshopper, this is not a photograph from WW2. Syrian Civil War, date unknown. What does this have to do with WW2, you ask? Well, what weapon is the guy the in middle holding? Ten cookies if you get it right.
