PH World War Two 022

Dear TimeGhost Army,

We are very happy with the results of the last few picture hunts, you’re really helping us a lot here! We’re still not getting too much suggestions for video footage, but the photo’s are great. Keep it up!

You can help us by finding public domain photos or videos from the Reuters Archive . The Free Finnish Defence Forces Archive might be especially useful for the Finnish parts of this episode. If you want the urls to all the sources, click here !

For more information, go here . For the leaderboard, go here .

:arrow_right: Have you found one of them? Write ‘which of the listed pictures it is’, ‘the url where you found it’ and ‘the licensing situation’.

Happy Hunting! :camera_flash:

Cheers,
Joram

Does a modern photo count? The building looks the same as it was then.
