hellyer 216 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 WWII photos The first 44 photos in this collection are pretty amazing, but photo #45 is a real eye opener. I had heard that these guys existed but this is the first time I had ever seen a photo of them. You probably never have, and most likely will never see these pixs again....don't know where they've been but some are brilliant … http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2011/10/world-war-ii-after-the-war/100180/ Link to post Share on other sites

It had a model of the hole he dug as his home and some of the clothes and implements he made. He was a real survivor! He was eventually found in 1972. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 OK this watching weekly thing works. All very interesting, and sort of good to know that way back then humans were über-dumb as well, it's not just a modern thing. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 It's pretty heavy going. Bits I found less interesting than others but generally quality stuff and I learnt a lot from it. Link to post Share on other sites
