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.

During the Nazis’ rampant campaign to dominate Europe, they allowed themselves to loot art galleries. Here, Allies had just uncovered a large cache of stolen art pieces and artifacts that “belonged” to Nazi officer Hermann Goering.

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.

Taking from these inspirations, French photographer, Rehahn, has once again made his 12-day road trip to the Northeast of Vietnam such as Sapa, Hà Giang, Đồng Văn, Cao Bằng, etc. to uncover some of these unseen beauties.

The photographer has uncovered more colors of Vietnam for his upcoming book project, which is the compilation of 56 different ethnic minorities currently living in the country. This new discovery will add more to his second volume of “Vietnam Mosaic of Contrasts” which will sure allow the world to see many hidden charms of Vietnam.

Now, let's see some of his photographs ...
