IrishGunner Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Interesting. I wonder why no "after" pictures are here from later Victory Day celebrations. Some photos of the young WW2 heroes with them as young men in the 50s/60s - probably in the Red Army would be even more interesting.
JapanX Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 I wonder why no "after" pictures are here from later Victory Day celebrations. After 1947 victory day became workday
JapanX Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Some photos of the young WW2 heroes with them as young men in the 50s/60s Yes, but how can you tell by the photo alone how old was this or that veteran during war? Pure guessing ... But here comes a good example of such photo The youngest pilot (he was born in 1928 and became war pilot in 14 years) Arkadiy Kamanin His famous father Edited August 14, 2014 by JapanX
JapanX Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 JapanX, the point is DOCUMENTED photos of the SAME person at the different ages. It appears the Kamanin images. IrishGunner, according to the article 2.5 of club rules "Use of UPPER CASE:Members are asked to NOT USE UPPER CASE LETTERS WHEN POSTING, this is because it is considered to be SHOUTING and can be construed by other members as being rude." Please don`t do it anymore. According to this titles under and over your avatar you are "moderator". Act like one It is all about proof. Yes, but even names of some of them are not known.
IrishGunner Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) It is true that posts can be misunderstood. But methinks you doth protest a bit too much. Nonetheless, rules are rules. I sincerely apologize. I used my meager power to delete the offending post and sanctioned myself. Edited August 14, 2014 by IrishGunner
JapanX Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Methinks you doth protest too much Frankly I was going to report you but then ... What can I say? I have a big heart I sincerely apologize. Apology is accepted
