Still fairly early for color photography, no? Looks incredible.

Yeah, it’s hand-colored. Kudos to whoever did it, it looks really good.

That was my first thought too, “man this must be colorised right? Or…?”

Stunning picture, looks like a movie poster.

Colour photography has actually existed longer than you expect. There are actually a few real colour images of WW2. Most are coloured afterwards but some real colour images exist.

It has a watermark explicitly saying it’s a colorization. The embossed faux cursive is pretty hard to make out, but it is https://www.jecinci.com/

So it does. I couldn’t bother reading the logos when there was an amazing picture to look at. Good thing I’m not a police detective I suppose!

AGFA developed color photography and the film was available during WW II.
