beatmasta Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Yep, this is not an exactly right forum for this post but I think there might be someone interested to see these photos (if this has not been posted here earlier). Finnish Defense Forces openend a while ago a web site where they released about 160 000 photos from the WW2, most of the photos published never before. Full archive can be found here http://sa-kuva.fi/neo?tem=webneoeng and few selected ones here http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2013/05/finland-in-world-war-ii/100519/ On the larger scale the Finnish front was minor theatre but as a Finn it would be nice to see one day a Finnish front module or two to be released for the eastern front titles. Market for that would be quite minimal compared to the more popular titles so hopes are not high but you can always have a dream 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatmasta Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Interesting thing is that there is lots of series of images from certain event, not just random photos from here and there. For example this one http://tinyurl.com/ldyjzf9 taken in Tali-Ihantala, the biggest battle in the Nordic history. That was taken from the firing position of an 75mm at-gun and the effect it has done to a t-34. Following is lots of photos from that particular battle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatmasta Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Hah, I made a quick search, but didn't do a proper search So if needed, modders can either relocate or delete this thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatmasta Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Propellor driven snowmobile! Will we see this in CMx2? So does that "thing" belong to the air forces or tank corps 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 ... the camouflaged bicycle is pretty funny, really. I'm not sure if it really was camouflaged, or if someone just left it there so long it grew moss 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
