I can't phathom the horrors our soldiers endures. My grandfather was on a off the coast of Okinawa. His shipwas sunk by kamikazi. He and the crew were in the ocean for several hours with sharks attacking and eating several of them. He died in 1998 and still was unable to talk about those events.

My grandfather fought on D Day, he never really talked about it either except that "he lost a lot of friends". True heroes in my opinion.

Its not if its colorized or not. This is history. It stood on its own merit and not a gimmick.

The fellow that did this did a great job with the coloring and really bought the photos back to life. Well done.

Absolutely astounding photographs. What a pivotal time in our history. To all who died on both sides, bless your souls.

Awesome photos... A couple years back I spoke with a Vet who was 92 though he looked no older than 75 or 80. He told me he landed on the beaches on Normandy... marched through France into Germany and was back home by the time he was 24. It was my honor to meet him.

I had a relative that passed away, made it though the beaches and died taking part of taking Châteauneuf-d'Ille-et-Vilaine as a member of the 83rd Infantry Division. He was a handsome 22 year old with a wife and family that loved him, a real tragedy.

If you he knew what he died for he be turning in his grave. Germany are still controlling Europe.

Today I watched a display featuring the Lancaster bomber and Spitfires as part of a Battle of Britain air display, seeing for those planes makes me so grateful that my great grandfather's fought to save our country. I have so much admiration for the people in these pictures, and seeing them in colour somehow makes them seem them more real.

Old photographs, plus news films of this time in history is priceless. I could look at them over and over. The hardships they faced, themselves and also their families I can't imagine. There was a sense of patriotic pride in seeing our men in uniform. Well, I still get chills...Thank you all who risk your lives to keep us safe. Thank you.

Such brave men. The Greatest Generation indeed. My WWII veteran grandfather celebrated his 91st birthday yesterday. Always love and respect our veterans; new and old!!!!!

Cool photos of a terrible time in history. The sacrifices made were immeasurable. My Dad was in Landing Craft #3 at Omaha Beach. From his entire company only nine men survived. He was shot three times as they approached St. Lo. and bore the scars proudly for the rest of his life. We returned to the beach and he took us on a tour of his progress. He was never regretful of what he went through. He always said our allies were family, and you always help family when it needs you.

These Photographs enhanced by a 19 year old, proves that the ultimate sacrifices made by that generation must never ever be forgotten by present and future generations. This collection, particulalry the portaits, are quite outstanding.

These photos are incredibly well done! But the petty sniping here in the comments section is really depressing.

Up to 20 million people dead at the end of this war. Those that survived, their lives forever changed, including my father who landed at Normandy and fought in 5 battles on way through France and Belgium on way to Germany, ending in Berlin. He was part of those that lost part of their emotional well being.

Up to 20 million Russians dead by end of the war alone. Estimated total ww was closer to 50 million..

There are estimates that put the number of dead in WW2 at 80 million. Whether that includes the 14 million Russians who died by Stalin's hand before 1939 I'm not sure.

A lot more the 20 million dead, and more then 25 million Russians dead (thanks to the murderer Stalin). Overall we're talking 70+ million in that damn fratricidal war that Churchill and his international bankers caused. Now the New World Order is going to give Europe their death blow and kill all of us in WWIII.

Marce your Father may have fought in France,Belgium and Germany but he did NOT fight all the way to Berlin.That city was captured by the Russians.It was only after the war ended that American,British and French troops made it to Berlin.

Ordinarily I object to colorization, especially when it comes to old Hollywood films. But these WW2 photos are magnificent and color adds much to our ability to see the detail of what those days were like. Kudos to those responsible for making these pictures so much more informative.

The color is so well done. It makes you feel as if you were there and brings the horror home.

The fact is that the Allied Forces all fought together to defeat two evil regimes. We stuck together and won. Let's be happy with that.

One evil regime at a time. Remember Stalin and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union were on our side.

Fantastic job again Mr. Enos! For those wondering why it's most Americans, its' because Enos is American and most of his work is from an American perspective. Just enjoy the images he's graciously provided us. The kids only 19 and he's a master at his craft.

I hear what you're saying but it would be nice to see more of all the allied troops and resistance fighters as well. On a separate note, if you go to Normandy, make sure you visit the American graveyard at St James. It is immaculate and a fitting tribute to your men who died there.

Devonian, he's done other nations war photos in the past and they've been on DM. One of my personal favorites is his photo of the Finn in pine branches during the Winter War. It was stunning. As for your recommendation, Normandy is on my bucket list. I wish I knew more about WWII personally, but there is so much to know just listing off the facts that getting into that mind set of how everyone thought and seeing all the little things here and there that triggered it and it's after effects is a life's long study.
