From the October 18th Mail Online "Ghosts of war: World War II photography superimposed onto modern street scenes--after finding old negatives at a flea market" by Emma Reynolds.
History expert Jo Teeuwisse of Amsterdam started the project after finding 300-year-old negatives at an Amsterdam flea market. She then went around Europe photographing the exact spots as they looked today. She then superimposed the World War II scenes onto the modern sites and came up with a very remarkable group of pictures.
I just wish all of them would have been like the first picture shown where I got to see the original photo, the site today and then the superimposed one.
Anyway, you can look at them as well, just Yahoo! search "Ghosts of war: World War II photography.
Well Worth a Look. --GreGen
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
