Looking for WW2 movie stills + War Photos

Post by VSWG »

I want to add some eye candy to the 'List of Must Read Threads' by placing the titles on top of background images. 2 themes come to mind: stills from WW2 movies, or real life photos. I haven't decided which theme to use so far, so I'm looking for both...

Here's the table of contents:

I. GENERAL LINKS
II. GAME MECHANICS
III. STRATEGY
IV. After Action Reports (AARs)
V. PBEM
VI. MODS
VII. HUMOR

I've already found some good photos, but I need more. (All images will be of course cropped and resized):

II. Game Mechanics:

'Movie' version:

Image

'Real life' version:

I would prefer a b&w photo, with a focus on the complexity of the engine. Alternatively, maybe a pic of a cramped submarine engine room, with valves, gears and stuff...?

III. Strategy:

This one is IMO perfect:

Real life verion: ???

VII. Humor:

Real life:

No relation to the Pacific War, though, and I'd prefer a narrow picture. Any ideas?

Movie version: maybe something from 'Operation Petticoat'? What other WW2 Comedy movies come to mind?

I. General Links

Well, a photo of some general (hu-hu-hu, I'm open for suggestions...)

Real life:

Movie version: I've tried to find a good still from 'Patton', but no luck. He wasn't in the Pacific, either.

For "AARs" I'm looking for a pic with a fighter pilot describing his latest kill to his buddies, with his hands in the air - you know what I mean.

"PBEM": No idea, any suggestions?

"MODS": a photo of some heavily modified piece of equipment? A plane? A tank?

Is there a site with good Japanese WW2 photos? Any help is appreciated...

If you find one of MacArthur struggling to get his head out of his ass..., I'd like a copy
