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

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

Some of these are amazing (like the Tower Bridge) and some are just way over saturated to be realistic.

#31 The D-Day landings were actually Operation Neptune. Overlord was the much larger plan that Neptune was part of.

How do you put the image # in your comment? And, you're right.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

# 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?

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Barrage balloons. A member of my Bro-in-laws family trained soldiers to fly them back in 1942. They called inflating balloons "uploading."

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Balloons intended to stop enemy planes from making bombing runs
