先前的黑白照片上色之后,二战结束的标志性照片又给注入了新的活力。图片有炮轰奥地利盐湖城后,E连(101空降师506团)攻占希特勒私人住所。图片还记录了诺曼底登陆和法国南部的解放。这组生动的照片由名为Jared Enos的少年,他想捕捉过去的历史瞬间。
Two color guards and color bearers of the Japanese-American 442nd Combat Team, stand to attention in the Bruyeres area, France, on November 12 1944. The regiment was a fighting unit composed almost entirely of American soldiers of Japanese ancestry. In total around 14,000 Japanese-Americans fought in World War II[CN]
两种颜色旗帜的自卫队以及日裔美军442步兵团的扛旗手,1944年12月12日在法国的Bruyeres地区立正站队。这个军团几乎是清一色的日本后裔美国士兵。总数上,大约有14,000名日裔美国人在二战中战斗。
A candid shot of a German prisoner of war in Weywertz, Belgium. 730,000 Germans were held in Northern Europe by Allied forces in 1944 although that number grew to 6.6million at the end of 1945, according to German estimates. 'D-Day, the Battle of the Bulge, and the heroic men who fought back German forces are all hugely important stories in our history,' said Enos.[CN]
这幅猎影图是美国在比利时Weywertz的德国战俘。1944年730,000名德国士兵被联军拖在北欧战场,根据德国估计的人数,到1945年末人数一度飙升到660万人次。诺曼底登陆,突出地带战役,还有那些英雄人物反击德国军队,都是历史上浓墨重彩的故事情节。Enos如是说。
'Lieutenant Colonel Buck Compton of the famous Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, in the 101st Airborne Division', wrote Jared Enos on his colored photo. Compton was portrayed in the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers by actor Neal McDonough
A shell fired by a 88 mm gun explodes on Utah Beach during the landing on June 6, 1944. The target 50-mile stretch of the Normandy coast was divided into five sectors: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword Beach. Up to 9,000 Germans and some 6,000 Allied forces died during the fighting
Convoys of the 28th Infantry Division are flanked by Frenchmen in the northern city of Colmar after liberation on February 3 1945. Nazi occupation of France formally lasted from May 1940 to December 1944
African American`doughfoots' of the 92nd Infantry (`Buffalo') Division pursue the retreating Germans through the Po Valley in Northern Italy. 909,000 black Americans were selected for duty in the Army during World War II however members of the African American 92 Infantry were the only ones that engaged in combat. Most African American conscripts were assigned to segregated construction, supply units or performed more unpleasant duties such as grave registration
where the house was located, troops seized the residence. Easy company want onto inspire the multi-award winning series Band of Brothers. Left to right: Major Richard Winters, Captain Lewis Nixon, First Lieutenant Harry Welsh, First Lieutenant Thomas Peacock. Enos could not identity the soldier on the far right.
Colonel Williams D. Bridges commander of the 5th ESB, kneels before an ornate tomb. The scene takes place in the second temporary cemetery that was established in 1944 on the cliff of Colleville-sur-Mer in eastern Ruquet, according to Enos
The USS LST-388 unloads on a Normandy beach at low tide, 12 June 1944, after D-Day during a resupply operation. A number of barrage balloons or blimps lurk overhead
US Army soldiers use a jeep to move a Very Low Altitude (VLA) antiaircraft balloon during a training exercise in southern England before D-Day, circa May 1944. Blimps were used to defend against dive bombers by blocking their path to fighter jets which in turn forced enemy planes to fly higher which put them in the range of anti-aircraft fire
Striking color pictures have brought the struggle and victory of the Second World War's Western Front into the twenty-first century.
The images from June 1944 show USS LST-388 landing at Normandy Beach, US Army forces making a desperate bid to fight German forces on Utah Beach and marching through Po Valley.
Other amazing shots from under a year later show members of America's E-Company celebrating victory over the Nazis in Hitler's private residence in the Bavarian mountains as well as France during Liberation Day.
The wartime photographs were colorized by American emergency medical technician Jared Enos, 19, from North Kingstown, Rhode Island.
'Some of the most famous, inspiring, and harrowing stories come from the Western Front,' he said.
'I
really wanted to capture the people in this collection, to allow you to
glimpse into the past and think, 'What could have been going through
their mind at a moment like this.'
Immigrants deserve to begin new lives. Doesn't matter where you were born on earth you should have the Freedom to roam anyplace in earth with asking what you're doing here. Because we're all humans.[CN]
移民开始新生活是应得的。在地球那里出生的不重要,你都该有去地球任何一个角落寒暄的自由。因为我们都是人啊。
Until everyone decides they all want to go to somewhere like New York or London and then restrictions have to be put in place anywhere because of population density. You're living in a fantasy world.[CN]
每个人都决定用去纽约、伦敦这种大城市的时候,人口密度过大,那时各种限制条令就要到处应用而生了。你们住在一个神奇的世界啊。
freedom to take benefit money they have never contributed into , and scarce resources like housing and hospital beds they haven't earnt ? WHY? why should we pay taxes to fund people from other countries ?[CN]
还有没贡献过经济却拿福利钱的自由,还有像公积金、医院床位这些稀缺的资源,他们就从没有出过力啊。为什么我们要交税来资助其他国家的人呢?
Europe will end up like this again soon because of Brexit. Very sad.[CN]
欧洲很快就会因退欧事件而失败没落的。真是让人悲伤。
No, Europe will end up like that because they let the enemy walk straight in ...and also thepeople of today would not have the balls to do what all those brave man and women did back then..[CN]
不不,欧洲衰落是因为他们让敌人直杀进来...还有今日的人们可没有这样的胆子了,不可与过去那些勇敢的男男女女同日而语了。
You colorized the pictues, but people forget the people of colour who also fought in a war that had nothing to do with them.[CN]
你给图画上了色,但人们也忘记了,有些其他肤色人种也参与到这场与他们毫不相关的战争。
Finnally a Londoner who accepts the truth! To all who are about to red arrow me. It was OUR manufacturing of war fighting equipment which could not be rivaled or attacked, which saved his majesty land. So let the red arrows begin, and remember you are not speaky german and why you are not![CN]
伦敦佬终于都接受这个事实了吗?要喷我的人,来啊,一起上啊。是我们造出了无可比拟和难以攻击的战斗武器,拯救了他的土地。要喷你就喷吧,记住,你不是唧唧歪歪的德国佬,为什么你没变成德国佬。
The Battle of Britain was fought through the summer months of 1940. The US entered the war after the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7th 1941. Manned by volunteers from the US, there were three Eagle Squadrons within the RAF until late 1942 when these squadrons were formally handed over to the USAAF. A small number of US volunteers flew and fought in the RAF during the Battle of Britain.[CN]
不列颠大战是1940年的夏季打响的。而美国是1941年12月7日珍珠港被炸之后才开始加入战争的。美国志愿者组织下,美国黑鹰中队队员加入到英国皇家空军中来。直到1942年末这些队员才转交会给美国空军。在不列颠大战中,只有少数美国志愿飞行员在英国皇家空军飞行和战斗。
Don't read much eh?The truth of the matter is that we both desperately needed each other. America could not have landed on the European continent by its self without taking enormous casualties,and like wise for Britain.And the U.S. strategic bombing campaign would have never happened without British bases.And America wouldn't have had the access to critical intelligence information that Britain provided through the Ultra intercepts.The U.S.Armys Ranger battalions that spearheaded the landings wouldn't have existed had Churchill not invented the British Commandos first.A huge part of the U.S.Navy was tied up fighting the Japanese in the Pacific,so where would we have been on D Day without the Royal Navy? And what about the Manhattan project? Are you aware that there were British scientist who helped with the development of the Atomic bomb?[CN]
读的书少了吧?事情的真相是,我们彼此呼应,不可分离。美国没有大量的伤亡代价是不可能攻占欧洲大陆的,英国也是一样。没有英国的基地援助,美国的战略性轰炸计划也不可能成功。没有英国的超拦截技术美国又怎么能收到至关重要的情报资料?如果没有英国首相丘吉尔派出的盟军突击队,美国陆军骑兵营又怎能杀入欧洲领地?大部分的美国海军被日军牵制在太平洋上,如果没有皇家海军,我们在诺曼底登陆时又会在哪里?还有曼哈顿计划呢?你知道研发原子弹这事,英国科学家也帮上大忙吗?
Britain saved itself in the Battle of Britain (summer/autumn 1940). After numerous attacks AH thought he could conquer but Britain beat them back every time and AH conceded, resulting in the war taking on a new path to the Eastern Front. Britain could have rested on its laurels in Autumn ('Fall') 1940 with a 'I'm alright, Jack' attitude but no, it licked its fresh battle wounds, stood up in the face of evil adversity and said 'No more!' as it bravely went to help its fellow man in dire need, deep into the mouth of he|| for another two years and countless pleads of help from allied countries, some helped and some, as you probably know, didn't. Don't forget, two years is a long time, especially when things are miserable.[CN]
不列颠之战(1940年夏秋之间)中,英国人自救的。德国空军对英国进行狂轰乱炸之后,他们认为可以干掉英国了,但是每次英国都打败他们。最后德国军队认输,自此战争进入东部前线。英国大可在1940年的秋季,在桂树下好好休息,对其他战争完全可以置之不理的。但是,英国舔舔新伤,站起来又开始面对邪恶势力,大声说出“不能再让你们得逞了!”英国战士们又勇敢的奔赴其他战场帮助同僚,在地狱门口前又徘徊了两年,盟军中有不计其数的请求支援,能帮上的帮了,帮不上的,你懂的,也没办法了。别忘了,2年可是很长的时间了,尤其是这么悲催的年代。
