Very interesting photos Mollers, thank you.
We think of WW2 in black and white, because that's how we are shown it. But the people that I knew who were there were very colourful indeed, and they tended not to have a black and white view of our world...

Not at all. Seeing as you're being unusually obtuse, I'll break my own rule and explain further:
The colour bit is obvious - we think of WW2 as B&W images. Patently those who experienced it didn't. We see WW2 footage in colour as startling, they must have found B&W as very lacklustre indeed. It's sort of back to front.
The men and women who experienced that time tended to have a fairly philosophical view of life afterwards. Had they been wasting time on here (and they might have as some pursued very narrow interests), you'd find they didn't twat on about the Germans, or immigrants or bloody rugby like it meant anything...
I think what I'm saying is they knew they had a life, because they'd fought for it and they knew what it was to take one.
Indeed, if they had a Vipermax in the shed, they'd dust it off and use it and stop feeling sorry for themselves...

All the Pacific stuff with Burt Lancaster is in colour and so is Ben Hur. So was "Jesus of Nazareth". They are all documentaries, so there must have been colour during WW11.

IIRC "Gone with the wind" was the first commercial colour film & that was released in 1939, so colour was definitely around during the war. There was a series on telly not so long ago "WW2 in colour" or something similar, most of it was German archive film, seeing Hitler in colour at the Nuremburg rallies was eerie, it made it "real". I see what Willk is getting at, we have a B&W view of the war which somehow detaches us from it & acts as a buffer. Seeing it in colour, brings it into the present & makes it real. We now have live 24/7 HD 3D glorious technicolour view of conflicts & we are de-sensitised to it, seeing WW2 in colour for the first time is a jolt to the system.
Phew! that's my philosophical bit done for the day, back to taking the piss, I thought to qualify as a documentary the subject matter had to exist

Ben Hur however is a different story, and that was filmed nearly two thousand years ago!
