Thanks for posting these, this is by far my favourate section!
It’s amazing how much of the old is still visible today, without one ever noticing…
Many thanx …as always, excellent work.
Very nice work! There’s a magazine calld “After the Battle” that takes pictures from back then and modern ones and places them side by side. Not as good as your idea though.
I think my favourite is the graveyard picture. Great job with these pictures!
Many thanks to all for the comments.I think its about time I update this thread with a new picture.
Great work rudeerude…i think you work puts things into such perspective.
Is their any chance you can do some then and now pics from the beaches of Normandy…hope i am not being to forward.
VoWeyer,its all about finding them first.Second the resolution size of the picture and quality.I have found some pictures with the picture size 300x300 ,thats to small I think.If try to enlarge them,to me they don’t look as good.
Thanx for the feedback…300x300 is to small and you are right, enlarging them will look gritty…appreciate the effort.

A column of Tiger IIs part of Peipers Kampfgruppe moving up toward the front lines on the afternoon of 12/15/44 ,the offensive commenced early morning 12/16/44. The pictures were taken in the tiny village of Tondorf with its narrow streets.Enjoy!!
So where do you actually get the modern pictures from Rudee? I doubt that these perfectly aligned images of historical sites would just be floating around on the internet?
