Welcome to the newly redesigned warinphotos.com! The new design sports a fully responsive mobile-friendly layout, improved gallery pages which should be more pleasant to navigate, and improved photo pages which allow a larger and more prominent view of the photo.
In addition to the redesign, I have begun updating the galleries with higher quality, higher resolution copies of the existing photos, in many cases increasing the resolution by 3-4 times! The Tanks and D-Day galleries have already been totally overhauled, so check those out, and the rest of the galleries will be updated in the coming weeks.
If you have any feedback on the new design, it is always welcome via our contact page.
I registered a new domain name for this website today:
warphotos.basnetworks.net is now known as warinphotos.com!
I was meaning to register a proper domain name for a long time, but couldn't decide on one. Last week warinphotos.com popped in my head, sounded perfect, and wasn't already taken, so here we go! More updates incoming soon.
Today I rolled out a new update to the website. Most noticeably the layout and theme of the site has been tweaked and optimized, and hopefully looks a lot nicer. I removed support for "tags", because they were cluttery and not very useful, and added a search box to the search results page.
The rest of the updates are changes to the back-end systems which will allow me to upload photos faster, and with more control.
Sorry for the lack of updates lately, hopefully more photos will be coming soon!
Yet another Canadian Army update, they just keep coming! There are some stunning shots today: A Canadian dispatch rider navigates some mud, and A Canadian Sherman tank overshadowed by a Dutch windmill. Enjoy!
The German Pz. Kpfw VI Ausf B King Tiger (aka Tiger Royal). At 68 tons it was the heaviest tank to see action. It also carried the most powerful tank armament of the war.
This photo was taken in Budapest, Hungary on 19/03/44. The King Tiger in the picture was supporting Otto Skorzeny's special troops at the Castle of Buda.
Rescue teams at work on the capsized hull of the 29,000 ton battleship USS Oklahoma (BB-37), seeking crew members trapped inside. The ship capsized after being blasted by Japanese warplanes, December 7th 1941. Holes were burned through the hull to permit the rescue of some of the men trapped below.
The starboard bilge keel is visible at the top of the upturned hull.
Officers' Motor Boats from Oklahoma and USS Argonne (AG-31) are in the foreground.
USS Maryland (BB-46) is in the background.
