Sorry for the long post. If you liked it, you should go check out the colorized history subreddit on reddit. It is amazing and has hundreds more than this.

Wonderful images. More, more, more

Everytime I see Elizabeth the second I think of my grandma. They don't look alike but I just miss her

To the artist who coloured these. You are a genius
kalseth
It just struck me, how real those people become, when the pictures is in color. Totally different perception. Thanks for the dump!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKYOOOOOOOOUUUU
The boxing match on the USS New York is from 1899, not 1938

You have to admit, despite the genocide, those Nazis had a strong interior design game.

More like Hoover Dang

The barrage balloons flying over the invasion fleet in #3 were inflated and flow by American soldiers. They called it "uploading."

Thanks for putting this together. These are great

I wanna make a racist joke but I cant...there's too many colored people here
KillingTheJokeOld2
Some of these are amazing (like the Tower Bridge) and some are just way over saturated to be realistic.

Also, Captain Young. His name was Walter R. "Waddy" Young.

Or 'Fliegendes Stachelschwein' and 'Schwere Kisten'. German code names for the B17 and B24.

Asking for some spongebob history pics?

#31 The D-Day landings were actually Operation Neptune. Overlord was the much larger plan that Neptune was part of.
mynameiselliott
How do you put the image # in your comment? And, you're right.
delpharseven
# followed by a number. Knowing which number it is when OP hasn't numbered them in the descriptions is just the bother of counting yourself.

I thought the white thing were bombs dropping mid shot but obviously not. What are they?
MidlandRedux
Barrage balloons. A member of my Bro-in-laws family trained soldiers to fly them back in 1942. They called inflating balloons "uploading."
chrisharddick
Balloons intended to stop enemy planes from making bombing runs
