I could not stop looking either. It was obviously cold at that
factory. Another metalworking picture is he

Metal casting

Caption says the guy on the right was severely injured in a
factory accident

Women miners before descending into a mine shaft (a little hard to
believe as they appear to be removing small castings from a
die/forge). Maybe the journalists had no more clue then, as now.

i enjoyed seeing the pics iggy, thanks for the link. the pics of the kids
during the war brought tears to my eyes. (seems to me we didn't see many of
those pics here, maybe they didn't want to humanize russians) i clicked and
clicked. lots of good pics. just wanted to post a link to one. nice
looking planes. i wonder if the things on the outboard leading edge were
slats to improve lift.

Those kids are all old people now. I read everything I can put my

Humm...different standards I guess. After looking closely..I see 2
that are even close to the low range of pretty, most being in the
catagory of Babuska.

Hey Iggy,

I notice in many of the pix there are young people with VERY short
hair, almost like shaved and growing out now. Some are adults, but
most appeared to be children. Is there any comment in the captions as
to why this is/was. Health issues? Just style of the day? Indicates
Jews, or some other "needs-to-be-identified" group? Something else?

I'm sure we all recall seeing pix of French citizens who had there
heads shaved for being "collaborators", but that was so they would be
shamed and shunned. I doubt that would be the case here.

Super bunch of pix though. Have you gone through the whole lot, and if
so roughly how many pix are there? How did you find this site? Looks
like a museum site to me.

Take care.

Probably for lice prevention. That would be my guess based on what I
know. No one needed to identify Jews on the Soviet side of the front.
Lice were everywhere at the time.

I'm sure we all recall seeing pix of French citizens who had there
heads shaved for being "collaborators", but that was so they would be
shamed and shunned. I doubt that would be the case here.

I doubt either, I think that the problem was lice and keeping kids'
hair short was the easiest solution. Even now, lice appear once in a
while, but at least now there are better medicines or something. I
believe that at that time, kerosene was used to kill off lice eggs.

Super bunch of pix though. Have you gone through the whole lot, and if
so roughly how many pix are there? How did you find this site? Looks
like a museum site to me.

I went through almost the entire site, saved up some pictures also for
my future reference. I wasted my entire evening on it yesterday.

Using Explorer, you can right click the page and translate via the "Page

After translating it, hold the mouse over the photo for a more detailed

Change the id=522 to id=1 and you can view photos 1 through 995 that way...
At least I think there were 995....

Yes, I do read Russian, I can imagine it is too hard to go through it
without being able to read the captions and such.

Try running it through Babelfish. Like this:

http://babelfish.altavista.com/babel...oto_id%3 D522

It that doesn't work, go to this link:

http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr

and paste the original link into the "Translate a Web page"
box. Set the drop-down menu to "Russian to English" and hit
the Translate button.

It is far from being perfect, but you should get the gist of
it...
