    Great stuff! Took the liberty of Photoshop enhancing the Armia Czerwona shot and I hope this is OK. Are there any English accounts of AC soldiers (Polish formations serving in the Red Army) out there?

    Ulrich;
    Thanks! Black and White purists are horrified that the old photos are being colorized by Photoshop techniques but...well so long as they are used to enhance the original I see it as a positive thing.

    Hi;
    A colorization of another great photo-took me all morning what with a combination of color burns and hand painting blended into the burn. The file was titled "Armia Cerwona" and does this mean that these were Polish Soldiers in Red Army Uniform? Or does it simply mean "Red Army" in Polish?
    Damn! COuld not get this one to upload! Ah well-here is a link; http://news.webshots.com/photo/2163759460030546503CAimTq

    Well made Jeff! Pics are always looking "newer" and not so far away when they are in colour.

    Thanks Ulrich;
    ANd my kids find recolorizations (I say "recolorization" as the original scene was no doubt in color and no doubt the photographer would have recorded it as so if the technology would have been available) of the old family photos way more palatable than the old Black and Whites ( http://family.webshots.com/photo/2762744100030546503CqknbQ ). Here's a recolored sniper shot and I think it adds dimension. apu8 pictures from history photos on webshots
