What is this crap? I’ve seen enough WW2 movies and documentaries to know that the entire war was in black and white.

I always have a hard time imagining it is color.

I was sent to Guam and remember sitting there on the beaches that I had seen in movies(in B/W) and trying to correlate the color with what I saw in the movies.

It is interesting how hard it is to imagine real color while watching old war documentary films.

At Fort Lee Va. There is a war film library there that has graphic colored as well has black and white moves and photos of WWII. Don't eat before seeing them if you can enter the site. Also Kodachrome film was manufactured starting in 1935. So it was available during WWII. And used K14 Processing that had 17 steps to develop the film. As a amateurs I used the E4 kit to process Ektachrome 64 film in about 6 steps for develop the film into slides. This film was developed in the 1940’s. I got a lot of slides by home developing using Ektachrome 64. Has better speed then Kodachrome. Note - National Geographic, used it extensively for color photographs for decades in settings where Kodachrome was too slow. Also note - If you can get the military channel on cable. They show actual combat of WWII in color.
