Vivid new WWII Battle of the Bulge photos released (many in color). I always find old color images to be very striking. We’re so used to seeing events like WWII depicted in black and white that part of my brain starts to actually think they happened in black and white. Of course I know that’s ridiculous, but then why else do I get such an odd sensation when viewing old color images? Anyone else know what I’m talking about? Click through for more.

    I get the same way. Like it feels further away and less real, because everything in black and white. Then you see them...
