Wild WW2 mixed with modern day pics.
Celebrating this year’s anniversary of the end of World War II, we feature the work of amateur Russian photographer Sergey Larenkov. He collected old pictures of several European cities which suffered the heaviest fighting during the great war, then spent 12 months painstakingly travelling to Paris, , Berlin, Moscow, Leningrad (now St Petersburg) and Prague and others to re-create the ‘today’ shots before carefully merging the old and new scenes together using Photoshop on his computer.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Powerful stuff.
If it wasn't real it would make for one of the greatest fictional dramas of all time. It has everything a story would want. For those that didn't live through it, or didn't even grow up near it, like myself, its just an almost impossible thing to appreciate fully. As a history major that focused on WW2 I find myself almost feeling guilty in how much I enjoy learning about it. A lot of times I forget that the impact was more real then I can ever imagine. Especially over time, the generic high school telling of WW2 makes it more simple.

The power/might that Germany really had was mystified then and now with propaganda and a few specific events, but at the same time, Germany was also a lot closer(save for some foolish decisions by Hitler) from maybe gaining enough control where U.S. involvment wouldn't have even stopped him.

It really is an almost unreal moment in time as you say. One that even now you can pick up a book and learn something you didn't. For example the last two I read, one broke down just how close Germany was to nearly everything but Asia and the America's save for Hitlers mistakes. The next broke down how the German "machine" wasn't as strong as some thought, that France actually outproduced them throughout the war, and that many would argue had better quality production as well. 'How Hitler Could Have Won the War' and 'The Blitzkreig Myth' for anybody interested. The stories are endless, and so too are some of the scars it left. Something that can inspire and scare you.

Great post!!

Speaking of fictional dramas, have you read the Fatherland? Amazing book that takes place in a world where Hitler and Germany won the war.
