Don't know if this has been posted previously, if so forgive me if it has.

The German Federal Archives (Deutsches Bundesarchiv) have posted literally thousands of their collected images (by year) via Wikipedia. An amazing source of information.

The images cover all walks of life and military action, but of especial interest are those that deal with the Luftstreitkräfte. Some absolutely superb photographs in the collection, most you'll have not seen before. :applause::applause:

That is another of those chilling shots. Kurt Schneider has just been lifted out of his aircraft. He was to die more than a month later when the wound went septic.

Oh, I didn't know that, Shredward.
Added a British shotdown pilot and changed my words - it's too serious, still, and always.
