RARE PHOTOGRAPHS

 FROM WORLD WAR 11

G'day folks,

World War II was the most devastating period in human history. This is a collection of eye-opening photographs from WWII that most of us have never seen and won’t be found in history classes.

 

Between WWI and WWII, Germany suffered from extreme hyperinflation because of the debts they had to pay for due to the destruction in the previous war. Money became completely worthless.

British and American soldiers made it their duty to reveal to German soldiers and civilians the atrocities that took place at Nazi concentration camps. German servicemen watched videos that their fellow soldiers had recorded. Many couldn’t control their emotions as they saw the disturbing images of the Holocaust.

 

Here are a few more photographs rarely seen, including the burning of Belsen Concentration Camp.
