> I wonder how many of the subjects made it through the war alive.
Those D-Day soldiers, especially.
WWII photos are among most harrowing and iconic images in human history.
The technology is right on the line between old and modern. You can easily imagine yourself there with the tinny radios and the smell oil and grease. The planes and ships look scrappy, like they could easily be blown apart. Cranked out in volume to overpower the enemy, or at least have a few survive.
And then there's the suffering of people in the concentration camps, people who've had their cities bombed. Their faces tell you everything.

The sense of foreboding is palpable.
