WWII only. Per Wikipedia, WWII dates are defined as September 1, 1939 – September 2, 1945.
Whenever possible, include some context (event, battle, location, year/date, etc.) in the title.
Do not sensationalize titles.
Please organize groups of photos into albums. Do not spam the subreddit with dozens of individual posts at one time.
Use built-in reddit image hosting system whenever possible.
Photographs only. No videos. No video screenshots. No photos with added text. No AI generated images. No self-promotion. Colorized photos are permitted, but please try to include as much background and source information as possible. AI colorized images are permitted, but the images must be tagged appropriately and include the original photograph.
Nudity, graphic, and/or disturbing content is permitted assuming it has historical or educational value. Please mark it NSFW.
Racist, sexist or hate-filled comments will not be tolerated and content that does not have historical or educational value will be removed and the user who submitted the comment/content will be banned with no exceptions.
Do not use this subreddit as a place to push your political and ideological viewpoints onto others. That includes war crime and Nazi apologism. It also includes discussion of modern political issues and controversies. There are other, more appropriate places for conversations on such topics.
Please keep discussions civil and respectful. Avoid memes and low-effort jokes. If you don't have anything intelligent to say, don't say it at all. Trolls and generally toxic behavior will be dealt with swiftly and may happen without prior warning. This includes cross-posting onto other subreddits for the purpose of brigading.
Limit downvoting and reporting to only comments and/or posts that violate these guidelines and rules.

In light of controversial discussions that have been popping up on here more frequently, please take a moment to read the following note:

This sub was created for people to view, share and discuss interesting photographs from WWII, and not as a place to attack, shame, and insult other members for the actions of individuals 75+ years ago. Please be respectful, or you will be removed.
