Somehow colour just makes it all the more real...

I always thought that colours were rationed during the war for use of the troops in harm's way...

Hey, college football season is underway.

Blackberry advertisement, in MY rare color footage of London blitz video?

I love how, despite much of the city being destroyed, you see buses driving about and people looking like they're walking to work.

Gotta love that British stiff-upper lip.

Turn down the sound and play Funker Vogt's "My Fortune."

You mean pecker, of course.

Prepare to harvest the LOWER pecker.

Apt, considering this is the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain.

How is the footage rare? rarely seen maybe but it's not rare footage.

Not in this one, and it's slightly longer.

Is that music from Where Eagles Dare?

"...who shot it on the home movie equipment in use in the 1940s."

You don't say?

Fake. I can tell by some of the pixels.

Fark this. I'm callin' time machine. How is it that growing up in the late 70s and 80s, watching dozens of WWII docs and not seeing a single color film, suddenly there seems to be colored war footage everywhere?
Someone has a time machine. You think I'm joking? Just wait.

I mean the Inniskillin Fusiliers and the Anglian Regiment are all right if you're interested in the art nouveau William Morris revival bit, but if you really want a regiment of the line that is really saying something about interior decor, then you've got to go for the Durham Light Infantry.

What kind of mouth-breather would link to Yahoo for a story like this?

Surely the BBC is the place for it...

Months of bombings. Over 43,000 dead.

F*cking hell, imagine if that ever happened in the US. The closest thing to it on US home soil was 9/11 and conservatives lost their ever-loving sh*t as a result.

Alternate universe: the previous US administration was the Cabinet in London during WW2. London gets bombed repeatedly Prime Minister Bush the Younger declares war with South Africa because someone called his father a nasty name in the Boer War.

During the war, he says we're addicted to tourism in the Alps, but still invites the leader of Austria over for a hand-hold and a kiss on the lips. Even though they were the ones that made the bombings possible.

I'll remember reading about an elderly fellow who lived through the blitz, interviewed after the London Bombings a few years ago. He was catching a bus not long after, and someone asked him "Sir, aren't you afraid of another terrorist attack?"

The old man replied "I've been blown up by a better class of bastards than this"

I can't help but think that Farkers are responsible for most of the snarky troll-comments on that article...

That was surprisingly short and boring. :/

Today's America is too arrogant to handle an attack like London saw. Ration MY gasoline? No way! Technology keeps our military on top today, not the spirit of the citizenry.

I am impressed with the way Britain composed itself in WW2.



"Bombs? F*ck bombs. More tea, vicar?"

Rare? Color footage of the Blitz is on Doctor Who every season!

At 1:05 you can clearly see the residue of the thermite linear shaped charges.

1. Wait for halloween
2. Go to detroit with a vintage movie camera.
3. Edit in orchestra and old announces audio with a cracked copy of Pro Tools.
