On This Day 22nd October…
The battle of Stalingrad was the largest conflict in the history of warfare. Around two million people were killed, wounded, or taken prisoner (read, killed) in the five month German offensive and Russian defence. This photo was taken on 22nd October and shows soldiers of the Air Force clearing buildings after Luftwaffe bombings…

What’s your source for all these photos…?

Craig, I have a plasma induced temporal flux capacitor with quad warp quantum STC drives that allow me to take any photos from any time that I want.
At least that’s what the guy in the pub told me when he sold it to me.

Yeah I got one of them from the same guy, but I said if David comes in give him the older kit, and make sure he thinks he’s getting a bargain.

Ha, I saw that one coming…

Love these – and you guys (David/Rob) have WAYYYYY too much time on your hand! (good thing for the rest of us…)

Oh, my giddy aunt! No, Greg, not too much time, just a bit obsessed…just a bit obsessed.

Obsessed? Try something else, then.
Some of us are able to sublimate, others just can’t adjust …

Jeff, this IS my sublimation. I have several dark and terrible urges and if it weren’t for modelling I’d be in a little room with soft walls doing hard time.
