| For many people, the US National Archives (NARA) are inaccessible. I am fortunate to live nearby and do research there on a weekly basis. I also have a large format scanner. As such, I am able to produce high-quality scans of documents and photographs and then sell them at reasonable prices. For exa... |

| Hello, I often visit the US Archives (NARA) and scan photos and documents for my own research and to sell. Sometimes I find interesting material which share it with other people. Last week I found seven color photos of the Westwall taken by the US Army. I have posted a "low-resolution" ima... |

| I apologize for my tardy reply. I somehow missed the last two posts on this thread. Kirill - The contact sheets are not captioned except with the photographer's name. Often, but not always, there is a date. Therefore, I generally don't know what units are depicted in the collection. In some cases, t... |

| Here is a photo I really like, taken by SS-KB Augustin (LAH in France and Holland 1940, Russia 1941-1943) who was was of the more prolific photographers in the collection. Obviously a Russian Front photo. |

Hi Bill,
It is a nice photo. Based on your post, I looked closer and noticed that behind the Pershings are Shermans. All in all, a nice photo.
I wonder what the tanks crews were thinking! |

| Here is a photo from the US National Archives that speaks volumes about WWII and its aftermath. Taken on 2 June 1945 in Ilfield, Germany, a captain in the 5th Armored Division marries a member of the American Red Cross (how did that happen so fast? He must have been a staff officer!). In this photo ... |

| I was scanning some more SS-Kriegsberichter contact sheets at the US Archives, when I came across this - a contact sheet from SS-KB Cantzler with a series of portrait shots. One of them was cut out. I wonder why. My guess it was done at the archives by someone who used it to make a fake SS-Identific... |

| Hi Ian, It is difficult too say because there are no definitive identifying features visible in the image. If it is Maginot Line, then it is a "campaign" casemate built for the interval troops and not part of one of the primary ouvrages. The best clue is probably in the detail of the weapo... |

| Hi Tim, I live 30 minutes from NARA and try to visit there every Wednesday. I am in the process of scanning the entire SS-Kriegsberichter collection, which I will offer for sale on DVD. The photos are from contact sheets, so the quality is sometimes spotty. I am not an expert on the Waffen-SS, but w... |

| Next, is a photo by August Ahrens who served with the SS-Kavallerie Division in Russia in 1943. I like the photograph because is shows a tactical "sandtable" briefing to senior officers. |

First up are two photos by Willy Altstadt who was with the Wiking Division is Russia 1943. What strikes me about the first photo, is ... |
