Vast majority appear colorized black and white photos, regardless, the color makes the details pop. Nice find, thanks for posting. 8)

It is odd that the only knocked out armour in the pictures are a couple of KV's and a T-34. No German equipment shown.

Yes, many of these were... what's the word? I dunno, color applied afterwards, but some of these aren't. And it is odd that no German tanks are shown destroyed
