I need some help.

Can someone identify these pics? Are they authentic, are they tinted B&W, or are they modern pictures made to look like they were taken way back when? If they're actually real, where were they taken?

I don't believe they're movie stills or anything similar, because of the aspect ratio on the pics, but I could be wrong.

IIRC they were posted in a war thread. I believe they're authentic, and I believe it has something to do with Russia/USSR, but on that last part I may be horribly wrong. My mind is saying troops coming back from a war. Maybe someone else can help Anonymous more than I can.

It's from SwordBeach during Normandy landings. You say you have other pics too?

Just these three, and two of them are the same scene taken at different times.

Thanks a lot for identifying them, too. That's a huge help.

Can Anonymous tell me what this is? I fail at knowing what most of my images are of >_>

You'll have to forgive me, my knowledge of war and such is largely from Call of Duty games >_>

OP here. So, I think it's safe to assume these are from that time period. But what's Anonymous's opinion on the color? Are these examples of early color photography, or were they color tinted after-the-fact?

actually the CoD games are pretty accurate in so far as the weapons, uniforms, and the vehicles etc.

Well of course, but.. I merely meant that my knowledge only extends about as far as a game could teach, and even then, I didn't pay too much attention to uniforms and such.

Having seen plenty of WW2 color photos for reference, I'd feel safe calling those original, but faded, color.

That's a Mounting, Triple, 20mm Mk1; the guns are most probably Oerlikons. British/Commonwealth light AA.

Yes. That's very limited variation mounting with triple Oerlikons. Here's a pic of a triple mounting Crusader AA tank in a hull down position. Sorry, I don't have a higher resolution picture.

And yes the pics look like original colored. If they had been recolored, they would have been colored more properly.

At a guess, an antiaircraft gun.
>> To the person who posted the OP pic Collector
To actually saw something like this on 4 chan...

An friend of mine (He's right beside me right now) saw that OP and is very interested in the picture.

What you got there is something of rarity.

I'll go straight to the point.

I/We wanted to buy the original photograph if you happen to have it.

If you have negatives of it, the better and also provide some background information on the picture (I/We already have a fairly detailed knowledge about that particular picture, we just don't know how you obtained it).

I have left my e-mail address so we could discuss this in private.

anonymous these pictures are definitely worth something, make sure you get them valued by a specialist before you engage in selling any of them. You will be surprised how much such items can be worth.

OP here. I'm very sorry to say this, but I have no idea who owns these pictures. I found these pictures in a thread here on 4chan; quite likely the same one>>140772was talking about.
