You guys are all too busy playing COD 5 ... but if you come up for air, be sure to check out the new Life Magazine photo archives that Google is hosting. Absolutely amazing photos from WWI and WWII, as well as all the other seminal events in our recent history.
Russ, you'll certainly be interested in some of these! http://images.google.com/hosted/life |

QUOTE(HammaTime @ 11/20/08 9:46am)  You guys are all too busy playing COD 5 ... but if you come up for air, be sure to check out the new Life Magazine photo archives that Google is hosting. Absolutely amazing photos from WWI and WWII, as well as all the other seminal events in our recent history. Russ, you'll certainly be interested in some of these! http://images.google.com/hosted/life Hamma,Very cool site indeed. I must say though I got a little side tracked when looking into the 40''s section...my..my ..those Hawian women certainly are attractive  ..Oh ..yes back to my planes..section  . Hamma,I found two more binders of my grandads photo's..8/10 photos.Mostly of crashed planes gothas i think and pics of troops standing at attention in formation,and a few photos of my grandad inspecting the troops...one with a guy right hand high in the air praising Hitler during inspection...amazing photos'. Also i have been taking photos of my dads document from WW2.So far about 80 pages of the report I have phtgraphed about 60 more to go.I plan to post them in my photobucket so you folks can read them if you wish.However i have noticed that when i transfur them to the bucket they sem to blur,but if you were to download them onto your computer andlook at them through widows you can read them perfectly with no blur. The plane photo is dated 1918. The other photo where Herman Ruehmkorf is receiving a medal is 1941 the others are dated 1943. All in all i found an additional 40 to 50 more photo's most from 1918 and earlyer. I wish to hell i could read german because all of them have a description of where and who is present. frustrated to say the least i should ask my mom to translate before it is too late..Oh by the way she's doing great here at home..

Russ, you keep coming up with AMAZING stuff. Wow!
It must be great to think you've now permanently preserved those images. There has to be some historian out there that would be eager to help you with deciphering not only the German, but the historical context of the images as well. You're bound to learn more about your granddad with some professional help. That's even better news about your mom. Good to know it is working out well for you. She is lucky to have you as a son! |
