2000+ colour WW2 photos avalaible via BitTorrent
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

If any of you are up and running with BitTorrent and have a high speed connection, you might want to check this out. It's a big download - about 168 MB - but it contains over 2000 WW2 era photos, most of them in full colour. A few i had seen before, but a lot were completely new to me. Way, way, way too many great photos to mention, but i can tell you that there are a lot of armoured vehicles in there, especially German, American, and British. The collection is broken into 13 parts, as follows :

A - British
B - Germans
C - German Navy
D - German Luftwaffe
E - The Homefront
F - Japan
G - Marines
H - Other
I - Russian
J - US Air Force
K - US Army
L - US Navy
M - B&W Pictures

Some of them are posed/publicity shots, but i'd say most are of the candid/action variety. You'll see infantry, artillery, armour, ships and planes of all description, generals and admirals and political leaders and quite a few women in uniform (and a few out of uniform, as well).

All in all a collection worth having, especially for the historians out there.

So if you have a BT client and a high-speed connection and a bit of time, you should check it out.

It can be found at: www.mininova.org/tor/280681

(No viruses or spyware or anything else nasty awaits you. Just a ton of great photos.)

(And i have no connection to this collection whatsoever, if you're wondering. I just happened to find it while checking one of my usual BT sites Thursday night. I am very happy i found it.)

Looks like the left track is off, but that Tiger looks to be is fairly good condition. It would be nice to see the other end though. _________________ "May your Enemys Run With Fear!!"
