Noice, it's brilliant
It opened up a whole new perspective on Russia from this period for me
I was used to grainy black and white pics before discovering this

I wonder where his bones are.
>>294561
these are great, russia looked so provincial
>>294508
what does he have in those pockets? charges?
>>294614
Well, to be fair most of these were taking in remote parts of the russian empire (Turkmenistan, Georgia, etc.)
>>294624
yea true, i wonder how often youd see these churches that he takes photos of though, it looks like they're in the middle of nowhere. maybe its just the camera angle?

Why wasn't Warsaw restored to its pre-WWII appearance like Budapest was?

I wonder what nazis thought when their supposed "Aryan" brothers resisted their loving embrace
Cessna 337 of the Rhodesian Air Force.
The HE-111 Zwiling, a variant of the widely used HE-111 with two main frames linged together by a middle wing.
This prototype was created to see if it was possible to build some heavy bombers wwithout needing some new factories or design some entirely new material, recycling some already existing things instead.
it was also a way for german engineers to create a steady bomber when Hitler, not the most knowledgable person when it comes to aircrafts, always specified he wanted to have dive bombers.
Needless to say, it didn't work.

A Messerschmitt p 1101, prototype of second generation german jet that was never completed snce the americans found and dismantled the facility where it was devlopped.
Pretty advanced for its time, being one of the first plane with variable seep wing (it was the direct inspiration of the Bell X5. One of its main flaws was that, to reach higher speeds, it used a specific fuel that was highly acid and since the place was so small, the pilot was always risking a leak in the cockpit that would pour some nice, highly acid and inflammable stuff on him.
Popvka, notorious for being one of the worst warships to be ever built.

Ooops.
early french prototype Dyle & Bacalan 70.
Heavy transport plane that could fit a small "salon"/living room with armchairs and tables.
Despite only ever having one ever built, it ended up being used during WWII to retrieve some paratroopers and other commandos.
I'm not sure if anyone on /his/ is into models at all, but since that might be the case, here is a neat link to a guy showing how he put together a model of that one, from scratch.

Yeah, after the mighty 1000-Year Reich took two months to roll up a little Scandinavian country.

took most of the important places within 24 hours, because of the terrain, some remote places took a while. A little recistance when the king was escorted out of the country, and ofcourse some in the far north. Its still a humiliation, "never more 9.april" is like a catchphrase here because of the retarded defence we had.
>>295278
What the fuck were they thinking, honestly.
>>295193
Truly an important empire in history.

Mostly because:
- The Commies wanted to make Warsaw a sort of mini-Moscow with Stalinist buildings in the center and broad alleys for parades.
- Coincidentally, most urbanists who survived the war were the hyper-modernists of 1930s. They wanted to make Warsaw a modernist's wet dream with motorway-size roads and communal housing.
- There was an enormous housing shortage of houses. First because almost everyone in Warsaw was homeless at the start, secondly because there was explosive urbanisation. The only way to give these people a roof over their heads was by building commieblocks.
