Over the past few months I have read with interest commentary on BGG about the various wars, the European view points, American viewpoints, asian viewpoints, revisionist reviews.

This image is clearly not one we see often, or saw a lot of during the actual wars of WWII.

What did the populace in Japan, German and other combatant nations see from the propaganda machines?

What images of war were shared with them.

This is the first in an on going series of images from various blogs and sites I have found. Initially a lot of propaganda shots, but also some almost – home style snaps as well. Where the actual men and women of war are seen not as our enemies but as fellow humans.

Look on. and let me know what you think.
