D-Day Colour Photos

[Ed Storey]

The images are bw and have been colourized, sadly a recent fad embraced by not only the public but by museums as well. Naturally this had led to colourized images now being passed off as actual wartime colour photographs. Unfortunately as technology improves, the ability to interpret and appreciate Second World War imagery with any level of accuracy has been diminished.

And only as good as the colourizer's knowledge and research. I do find they add life however.
