Lack of racial diversity? Pump it through Gemini AI to fix that, I suppose.

No

German trenches somewhere in Russia, 1943.

A rare scene in the Pacific theatre of the war, an American Marine offers a cigarette to a wounded Japanese soldier who's been half- buried in the volcanic sand.

German 2.8 cm sPzB 41 squeeze bore AT weapon, classified as an heavy AT rifle by the Germans themselves but in practice it was a light AT gun.

This photo comes to mind for me. While maybe not strictly WW2, it's in the direct aftermath.
Seeing these people together in color and in such high fidelity is really special.

I believe this is what the kids these days call "aura farming".

Check out that trench gun. Can't tell if it is a 97 model 12.

Is your google not working, or is typing in "Rozich Blackburn Tompkins Bridge" simply too much work for you?

Berlin's Lustgarten after the conquest of the city. Remains of a war booty exhibition can be seen, featuring two artillery pieces (one French and the other Soviet) and behind them a British WWI tank, most likely one of the two tanks that were placed in front of the Smolensk cathedral as a monument after the Russian civil war. After taking Smolensk during operation Barbarossa the Germans decided to ship them to Berlin for display, and their presence at Lustgarten somehow led to stories about them being used in the battle of Berlin.

>>63851274
I suppose if you somehow manage to fuck up your gearbox while doing it, you've just completely halted all traffic on the bridge.

Pic unrelated, an Oberleutnant of an German tank destroyer unit, captured by Canadian forces in the Netherlands. He's been awarded the Iron Cross (1st and 2nd class), the General Assault Badge and the Wound Badge in silver. In addition he has the Kuban Shield on his uniform sleeve, indicating that he fought at the Kuban bridgehead in Soviet Union between 1941-42.

Cockpit of an USAAF B-24 Liberator after a rough mission. The pilots still managed to land her safely.

>>63851328
No, it's a member of the Palace Guard of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. This picture is frequently cited as being the Papal Guard but the building behind the men is the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence.

>>63851308
It's a 97: the shape of the receiver/triggerguard is pretty well silhouetted. The rear neat gun in the pic tho is the Japanese Type-I rifle one of the Marines is holding. Prior to modern research the milsurp lore is that they were all captured in storage at a warehouse on mainland Japan and never saw combat.

Constant physical labor.

Grandad was in the RAF and had a penny he pushed into the lava and then chopped out when it hardened. He used to show it to me when he was a kid, but we couldn't find it when he passed. Makes me sad to think about.

Nose art of the B-29 Superfortress "Devil's Darlin'", photographed at Tinian. "Devil's Darlin'" was badly damaged on a bombing mission to Kobe when it was attacked by Japanese fighters, and the bomber's commander 1.LT Malone was hit in the chest by a 20mm shell. His co-pilot managed to ditch the plane in the sea near Saipan, and he and the other crew members survived the mission. Malone went down with his bomber.

>>63853773
Camels, though usually he used a cigarette holder.

What type is the top rifle?
No rear sight, is it for rifle grenades?

>>63854304
The one at the top is a No4 Mk I. It does have a rear sight but it's hard to see because it's right at the rear of the receiver, and the bolt handle of the middle gun is obscuring it. The two below it are No1 Mk III's.

>>63854304
It's a Lee-Enfield Rifle No. 4, the other two are older SMLE's. With No. 4 the position of the rear sight was moved on top of the rear of the reciever, and the sight itself was changed from an open type to an aperture sight. You can't quite see it on the photo since the bolt handle of the rifle next to it obscures it.

Swedish-made Landsverk L-182 in Finnish service. A single L-182 was bought by Finland for testing in 1936, seeing a little bit of use both in the Winter War and the Continuation War. Here it is seen with a Lahti L-39 AT rifle as its main armament, in addition to a few machine guns.
