Artist Photoshops Scenes From WWII Into Present Day
Russian photographer Sergey Larenkov has taken old World War II photos and photoshopped them over the locations in present day. The scenes from places like Prague, Vienna, and Moscow are incredibly well done and a neat way to appreciate history.
The pictures are amazing, and I wish there were more of them to be done that way!
Regarding the rest of your comment, I beg to differ!
I'm in the "under 30" category, and I know a great many deal of people my age or younger, who care about history, learn as much as they can about it, and have hobbies that usually involve modelling or simulating WWII-era war machines.
The sad part is that most of those youngsters are also the first ones to enroll in the armed forces, and too few of them ever make it back from the two battlefields we currently have going on.
But that being said, all you need to do to go see how many WWII "warbirds" are being modelled in 3D on the net, or by remote-controlled airplane pilots to notice they're not disappearing in popularity at all. They're just ever so present that most people accept them as part of their heritage, the same way they'll consider the tradition of Thanksgiving. It's so pervasive it's lost a lot of its impact.
---- I am certain of only one thing : I know nothing else.
Sure the differences are easy...
WWI we went against Germany.
WWII we fought Germany and Japan (2 countries so world war 2)
Korean War we went in Korea.
Vietnam Ware we went in Vietnam
Gulf War we whined and complained how nasty BP is. Because the CEO wasn't a good political speaker.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
