FDF shares their wartime picture archive online for free
« on: 25-04-2013, 17:04:11 »
OMG FINNISH BIAS

Finnish Defence Forces opened today their wartime picture archive online, free of charge. The service promptly crashed after 100 000 simultaneous users attemted to access it. However, once they have extra server cap and/or the novelty value wears off, some of you might be interested to browse it. (Reportedly, it also has search feature, which might come in handy provided the photos are properly named and/or tagged.)

Picks made by the atlantic.

Some pretty great ones there. Albeit, I don't think the description in #31 is correct. Martin's church in Turku was never bombed and neither were the other ones with similar names, St. Mary's church and Michael's church, though the latter had its windows destroyed by shrapnel/shockwave.


Also, why the need to bomb little villages like this?

Because terrorists were living there, of course.  :P
