Propaganda
In 1935, the firm Kodak developed the color film Kodachrome which was one
of the first comercial color films available, together with Agfacolor, in 1936, with which
one could get transparencies or color slides. The color film Kodacolor was introduced in
1941 and it contributed to its popularization, though the Second World War had started in
1939. Many photographic improvements became available during this war period and it was
used mostly in the military field. Some of the shots that survived after sixty years are
the ones that you can see here, though there are still many, many more in private hands,
which, I think, is not right because they are part of Humankind's Historic Patrimony and
are above any selfish way to appropiate them.
It is not my intention to violate any copyright law, so if
any of these pictures were violating it, please tell me.
